ASAPA hosts biennial conferences to facilitate the dissemination of its members’ research and to provide networking opportunities between professionals. Non-members are welcome to attend and to present their research findings. In addition to plenary, thematic, general and poster sessions, ASAPA conferences are known for entertaining conference dinners and memorable post-conference excursions to local archaeological sites. Members in good standing can vote on ASAPA matters during the Biennial General Meeting (BGM).
