Building on the success of the nodes model in 2023, the AAG (Association of American Geographers) is working with key institutions with the goal of hosting 10 nodes for the 2024 meeting, many with their own unique programming, as well as access points and coordinated activities for the annual meeting. Each node will be based on a “watch party” concept, with access to streamed content from the annual meeting, allowing attendees to watch sessions together. Node organizers also have the option of adding their own unique programming and coordinated activities along with access points for the annual meeting. Node attendees are not required to register for the annual meeting unless an attendee wishes to present in a virtual session at the meeting. AAG encourages nodes to provide refreshments. The small Colorado “node” of the national AAG meetings is trying to organize a watch party in Boulder for April 18, 19, 20. If you are interested in attending, email Emily Yeh at emily.yeh@colorado.edu.
The deadline for abstracts has already past (2/23), but they are flexible. There’s no deadline for coming to participate in the watch party.
