We were only able to secure a limited number of rooms at the low conference rate of $119 (plus tax) per night, so you should reserve your room as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment.
Your registration fee includes access to all presentations at the concurrent Chinese Society and Culture workshop, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 25. If you wish to attend the workshop luncheon that day, there will be an additional fee. See their website for details.
You are also welcome to attend sessions of the Asian Studies conference on Friday-Saturday.

If you are driving: Streetside parking in the congested downtown Oklahoma City area can be difficult to find, especially on weekdays. The Skirvin Hilton offers overnight valet parking for $26 or all-day event parking for $12. Valet parking is free if you dine at the hotel's in-house restaurant, the Park Avenue Grill. The Santa Fe parking garage, with 1518 total spaces (46 of them ADA-accessible), is practically next door and charges $10/day.
If you are flying: The hotel is located about 20 minutes from the Will Rogers World Airport. Unfortunately, the hotel does not offer an airport shuttle. The easiest way to get back and forth is Airport Express, a fleet of blue vans that can always be found parked at the curb near the ground transportation sign as you exit the terminal. The fee is $24, but only $3 per additional passenger, so it's best to travel with a friend. We will have a sign-up sheet at the registration desk, where people will be able to coordinate their return trip.
