AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION: Important reminder about APA Central hotel reservations.

Dear DAVID,   If you’re planning to attend the 2020 APA Central Division meeting in Chicago and haven’t yet made hotel reservations, we urge you to do so now. The APA conference rate of $169 (plus applicable taxes and fees) is valid through January 27, subject to availability.   Reserve your room at the Palmer House Hilton.   Please note: It is important that those attending the meeting stay in the conference hotel, rather than at other hotels, and specifically in the block of rooms reserved for APA meeting attendees. The financial viability of the meeting depends on our meeting our contractual obligations, the most important of which (by far) is that we fill a minimum number of sleeping rooms. Failure to do so results in a significant penalty, which, as a non-profit organization, the APA is ill-equipped to pay, and which would take resources away from other important APA initiatives.   Register for the 2020 Central Division meeting.   Register for the meeting by February 12 to take advantage of the early bird registration rates: $125 for APA members, $240 for non-members, and $40 for student members. Online registration will be unavailable February 13 through February 25, but will reopen on February 26, the first day of the meeting. You can also register at the registration desk on-site at the meeting. Please note: on-site registration rates will be $50 higher than early bird registration for all categories.   You’ll save an additional $5 on meeting registration if you opt not to receive a paper copy of the program. The meeting program is available online, and our free meeting app for smartphones and tablets will also contain the full program.   Register now.   We hope to see you in Chicago!   All the best,   Melissa Smallbrook Meeting Coordinator
