PROSPECTUS FOR BOOK EXHIBITORS & ADVERTISERS

PROSPECTUS FOR BOOK EXHIBITORS & ADVERTISERS

MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISER The Asia Research Institute (ARI) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) of the National University of Singapore, in conjunction with the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), are pleased to present the inaugural AAS-in- ASIA Conference, Asia in Motion: Heritage and Transformation, to be held on 17-19 July 2014 in Singapore. This broad theme has attracted panel and roundtable proposals not only from humanists and social scientists but also from law, policy, civil society, journalism, and other professional fields. This event inaugurates a series of such meetings to be held regularly at different locations in Asia. In creating a smaller version of its annual North American conference, the AAS seeks panels with a mix of scholars and reflective practitioners from Asia, the USA and other parts of the world. The Association hopes to spark off new and fruitful areas of collaboration by bringing together Asian specialists based outside of Asia and Asian-based scholars as well as practitioners whose routine expertise is not foregrounded as Asian. As a global hub linking many different parts of the world to Asia, Singapore is ideally placed to launch this enterprise. You will encounter astonishing diversity at every turn in this cosmopolitan city. We welcome you to enjoy it at all levels, from the intellectual to the technological to the culinary. BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXHIBITORS AND ADVERTISERS The 2014 AAS-in-Asia Conference offers a platform to reach new audiences, expand coverage and build networks. The event will take place at the National University of Singapore (NUS) UTown, a recently completed expansion of the campus. The exhibit space is conveniently located immediately outside the rooms where the panel sessions will take place, and near refreshment kiosks. The conference program distributed to all registered participants of the conference will contain the program schedule, an outline of panel sessions, a list of activities and other essential information for those attending the conference. It will include an advertising section providing information about books and journals, education opportunities and announcements for students and scholars of Asian Studies. We are planning a circulation of at least 600 hard copies of the program, and will make an electronic version available on the conference website. Advertising in the program will reach a large number of Asianists as well as university administrators, faculty members, librarians, independent researchers, graduate students and members of the public interested in Asian studies. For more information about exhibition and advertising opportunities, or to customize a package for your organization, please contact Valerie Yeo, Conference Secretariat at (65) 6516 5279 or valerie.yeo@nus.edu.sg. 2
