If you wish to ensure your attendance at the 2009 JASNA AGM, please register as early as possible. The last two AGMs, Vancouver and Chicago, have sold out. We expect that the Philadelphia AGM will also sell out—probably before the early registration date of July 13, 2009. Please note that the conference is limited to 550 JASNA members and 50 companions. Attendance limits are set primarily due to fire code regulations and banquet room capacity. It is wise to confirm your AGM registration before you make travel arrangements.
On this page, you will find contact information for registration and tours, registration and tour postmark deadlines, registration and refund policy details, and instructions on how to register for the AGM and tours. Correctly completed forms, accompanied by full payment, will be processed before incomplete forms or forms with incorrect payment. Before you register or sign up for special events or workshops, please consult the AGM Registration Totals on this page for availability. Before you sign up for tours, please consult the Tours page for availability.

Tips for Using the Form
NOTE: The registration forms can only be opened if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader software on your computer. You can download a free copy of the most recent version of the software here.
- To enter text on a blank line, move your cursor down the page towards the line. You don't have to align your cursor, because the text entry points are pre-set, as are the font styles and sizes. As you approach a blank line you will see the cursor turn from a hand to an I-beam pointer. When this happens, click your mouse. A blinking insertion point will appear in a pre-designated spot, and you can simply begin typing. When finished, just drop down to the next line with your mouse or press the Tab key.
- The dollar amounts you enter will total at the bottom of the form. However, you will need to enter the correct amount on each line and multiply the amounts yourself if you are purchasing tickets, etc. for more than one person.
- Text can be removed by hitting the Escape key. Check marks can be removed by clicking on them or pressing the Ctrl and Z keys at the same time.
- When you are ready to print out your completed form, print from the Adobe program (e.g., use the Print icon in the Adobe program). Don't use your browser's Print icon.
- If you have problems getting the I-beam cursor to appear or if you have problems printing, you might want to upgrade to the latest Adobe Reader program using the link above.
