2020 AISES National Conference is
Now an All Virtual Conference
In light of the unfolding situation involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) and in an effort to protect the health and safety of all our attendees, the 2020 AISES National Conference is now a virtual, online-only event. The 2020 AISES National Conference was originally scheduled to take place in Spokane, Washington. At this time, it is impossible to predict when the city of Spokane would be in a phase for safe gatherings. The all-virtual conference will take place during the same timeframe from October 15-17, 2020 with some preconference events on October 14.
Registration for the 2020 AISES National Conference is open and all attendees must register by October 5 to receive access to the event. The new virtual rates are equivalent to the former early bird AISES member rates of $99 for pre-college and college students and $299 for professionals. Current cancellation policies still apply. The virtual rate ends October 5 but register now!
The virtual conference platform will include most of the traditional in-person activities through the virtual platform including networking suites, an opening ceremony, sessions for all tracks, research presentations, Indian Country’s largest College and Career Fair, and so much more.
