Dear all,

Registration is now open for the Academy of Aphasia 59th Annual Meeting
(October 24-26, 2021)!  
  
Registration information  
Please note that registration will consist of two steps:  
1) Registration through the EasyChair portal:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aoa2021  
If you do not yet have an EasyChair account, this step will require you to
create an account.  
2) Payment through the website of the Academy of Aphasia:
http://www2.academyofaphasia.org/conference2021/ 
Your membership status for the Academy of Aphasia can be checked and/or
renewed via this site as well. 

Your registration is not complete until you have finished both of these steps.
Please make sure to select the appropriate payment level, depending on your
situation (membership, faculty/student status, etc.), both on this website and
on the Academy site for payment.

Please note that special registration rates apply to residents of Low and
Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). For the list of countries that qualify for
this, please refer to the publication by the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD). Countries listed as 'Upper Middle Income'
are not included in the LMIC designation:

In case you have remaining questions about registration, please contact the

Academy of Aphasia 2021  
This year, the meeting is fully online, and will be hosted through EasyChair
Virtual Conference Solutions (VCS). We will start on Sunday morning, October
24th, and end Tuesday evening, October 26th. The schedule includes one
symposium, ten platform sessions, and four poster sessions. Our keynote
speaker, Dr. Salikoko Mufwene of the University of Chicago, will speak on
Sunday afternoon. There will be a virtual social event on Sunday evening, and
a social platform where conference attendees can 'meet' will be open
throughout the conference.  
  
NIH Mentoring sessions: Now in its fourth year, the NIDCD-funded Academy of
Aphasia conference grant (R13 DC017375-01) will sponsor student fellows to
attend and present their work at the conference. They will also receive
focused mentoring and training from seasoned faculty mentors at the meeting.
Both U.S. and international students are eligible to apply - please contact
Swathi Kiran (kirans at bu.edu) with inquiries. There will be a general one-hour
session for all mentees and mentors, plus two half-hour sessions during which
mentors and mentees can meet in smaller groups. The grant also sponsors a
state-of-the-art New Frontiers in Aphasia Research seminar, on Monday morning,
October 25th. This year's topic will focus on Electrocorticography (ECoG), and
the speaker will be Dr. Edward Chang of the University of California San
Francisco (UCSF). Dr. Chang is Chief of Epilepsy Surgery and Chair of the
Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF. His scientific research focuses
upon the brain mechanisms for human speech, movement, and cognition. He
co-directs the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses at UC Berkeley and
UCSF, which brings together engineering, neuroscience, neurology and
neurosurgery to develop state-of-the-art biomedical devices to restore
function for patients with neurological disabilities. If you applied for a
student fellowship, you will receive notice regarding your application
separately.   
  
A full schedule of the program is now available here:

We are looking forward to your registration, and to seeing you online in
October!  
  
Best wishes,  
  
Dirk den Ouden
