AMEMG 2019 Program (14 June)
Bring or Send: We’ll have a table near the registration and coffee area for any books published since our last meeting that participants might wish to bring for display. In keeping with the digital humanities roundtable, we’ll also have a screen on which to profile participants’ and members’ digital projects. If you have a project page, blog, set of online teaching materials, or any other online resource you’d like to highlight, please send to krista.kesselring@dal.ca a Powerpoint slide (e.g., with a screenshot of the homepage) for display by Oct. 18.
Pre-registration: Conference goers are asked to register before October 18 at the Eventbrite site. The fees for the full schedule of events, including the reception and lunch, are $50 for full-time employees and $25 for students and the partially waged. (Postdocs and retirees are asked to choose whichever price point best suits their circumstances.) For anyone who might wish to forgo the lunch, the fees are $25 for full-time employees and $0 for students and the partially waged. If tickets in your chosen category should become listed as sold out on the Eventbrite site, please contact me directly. (Our lunch spaces are limited to 40, but I can re-allocate the tickets between groups as need be.)
Registration and Meeting Spaces: The registration area and our meeting rooms will be on the second floor of the New Academic Building (NAB) at the University of King’s College. See ‘K’ on the linked map. On Friday evening, after the keynote, we’ll head to the University Club pub at Dal; maps of the Dal campus can be found here.
Accommodations: The nearest hotel is the Lord Nelson, at 1515 South Park Street and roughly a 20 minute walk in all but a straight line to King’s. (The No. 1 bus goes almost door to door and reduces the travel time to less than 10 minutes.) They have rooms for $165 + tax for us, if you call and mention the conference. That said, attendees happy to drive in or to rely on public transport might well be able to find themselves other, more affordable options further afield through online booking sites.
Parking and Transportation: Parking is available for free at Dal after 4:30 on Friday and all day on Saturday. Lots 1-3 on the map are closest to our meeting spaces at King’s. If you arrive earlier, some limited ‘pay and display’ parking is available in Lot 17 for a rate of $2/hour. Free but limited street parking is also available nearby. For Metro Transit, the Google Maps site is your best option for schedules and routes.
