"Matters of Communication" Online Program Debuts Conference Preregistration Open Until 07 May 2010 The online All Academic program for the 60th Annual ICA Conference, "Matters of Communication: Political, Cultural, and Technological Challenges" is now available on our web site: http://convention3.allacademic.com/one/ica/ica10/. Should you log in first, you will notice the "Add to My Schedule" link in the upper right corner of the program. Use that feature to create a customized personal program, listing only those sessions and events of interest to you.
This year's conference in Singapore will be another exciting event with the usual scholarly discourse along with exotic Singaporean surroundings! Visit our web site to get conference event information, airline information, hotel reservation links, information about visas to Singapore, and much more. Go to http://www.icahdq.org/conferences/2010/index.asp to obtain more information. T
he Singapore Host Committee has also launched a conference web site with a plethora of information that will come in quite handy as you get ready for your trip. Read about everything from what documents you need for visiting Singapore to sightseeing opportunities and eating venues. Find information and links to various alternative hotels including price and distance to the convention center, information on travel to Singapore and to its many surrounding countries, and even travel within Singapore. Visit them at: http://www.ica2010.sg/.
As always, conference attendees can register for the conference on ICA's web site and take advantage of discounted rates for the conference. As well, membership in ICA plus a conference registration may be advantageous-especially for pre-Ph.D. students-as members also receive full membership benefits, including subscriptions to all of the ICA journals! If your membership has lapsed, the system will take you through a search for outstanding dues invoices and facilitate the renewal process. If no invoice is found, a link to rejoin ICA is available on the search results page. Once that is done, you will see a link to continue on to the conference registration forms.
This year, aside from the main conference event, 12 preconference workshops are being offered. Some preconferences will be held at the Suntec International Conference and Exhibitor Center, as will the main ICA conference. Others will be held at various locations throughout Singapore and three additional preconferences will be held in Brisbane, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; and Hong Kong!
One new event is a closing dinner. In the tradition of Singapore, ICA is offering a conference closing dinner that will feature performances reflecting the cultures and talents of the finest of Singapore. A four-course meal will be offered that is halal certified (no pork or pork byproducts) with beef, fish, and vegetarian options. Join us as we celebrate the successes of the Singapore conference.
We look forward to greeting you in Singapore!
