Travel and accommodation must be arranged by each participant on their own.

Members get extra discounts! You may join AAJA before you register for the conference. Membership is open to all. You don't have to be Asian, American, or even a current working journalist based on the traditional definition. Event attendees are mainly those who work in the journalism field. But we understand that the constantly evolving nature of the industry along with the accelerated velocity brought by digital storytelling has removed old borders and formed new categories within our profession that are still being formed.
