Over the past 5 years, the American Association of Geographers has worked to find ways to significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with the annual conference. As part of these efforts, the Association is experimenting this year with self-organized nodes to be held in ten locations.
The Penn State Department of Geography will host one of these nodes. On-campus and local participants are invited to “watch parties” of select content streamed from the AAG Annual Meeting in Honolulu and virtually, Tuesday through Friday, April 16-19. These sessions will take place in Walker Building rooms between 1:00 p.m. and 10:40 p.m.
All are invited to participate in the PSU AAG24 Node Mini-Conference that will take place Saturday, April 20 in Walker Building on Penn State’s University Park campus. We expect to offer a mix of paper, panel, lightning paper, and poster sessions. See description of session modalities at https://aag.secure-platform.com/aag2024/page/sessions/modalities.
There will be no registration fee to participate in node sessions on campus.
If you wish to be recognized as an official AAG conference participant, please also complete the AAG Annual Meeting Virtual Registration (includes access to live virtual and streamed in-person sessions, as well as access to all recorded session content for 90 days).
