Adoption Belonging
The Ninth Biennial Conference
This conference will include a combination of on-site (at Brown University) and recorded materials and events. Additional information and conference schedule is forthcoming. All presenters must be available for presentation/discussion on Apr. 4–6, 2024, either virtually through Zoom or at Brown.
Please note that early bird conference registration ends on March 17, 2024.
Please note that if you are registered for the conference, you do not need to separately register for the Friday evening keynote. If you only plan to attend the keynote, please register for that event.
Your conference registration fees defray the costs of professional media assistance and posting/hosting, and include membership in ASAC, which comes with a one-year online and/or print subscription to our journal, Adoption & Culture. As is usual at a scholarly conference, none of our participants is paid to present; keynotes are offered a small honorarium.
