ASCJ is not in a position to provide financial support for travel or accommodation costs, nor can it act as guarantor for those who need visas to enter Japan. No exceptions can be made to this rule. Persons who will be traveling to Japan for the first time should check the visa requirements well in advance.

February 20, 2012 - Opening of EARLY BIRD registration: 3000 yen regular fee, 1000 yen for graduate students. The conference fee can be paid either by bank transfer or by faxing a credit card authorization form. At this time it will also be possible to register and pay for the optional Saturday night reception. We welcome ALL registrations at this time, both from those on the program, and from those wishing just to attend the conference.

Organizers of panels and roundtables should confirm whether everyone in their session is able to participate as planned. They should take the opportunity to remind all co-panelists and discussant(s) to complete registration and payment for the conference.

The Executive Committee needs to receive your registration information and conference fee in good time in order to make important programming and scheduling decisions that affect all participants. If you are late in confirming or registering, you may jeopardize your own position in the program, as well as that of fellow panelists.
