Please complete the Hotel and Travel Arrangements Form by March 15.
We are hoping to provide support in the form of local travel (XNA-Fayetteville Shuttle Transfers) and accommodation expenses to most conference participants with priority to students and junior faculty. Partial reimbursement of other travel expenses may be possible. The level of travel funding will not be known until the completion of the conference. Participants requesting reimbursement of travel expenses should bring their airline tickets and receipts to registration.
International participants: Please be advised that according to U.S. immigration laws, individuals who enter the U.S. and wish to be reimbursed for travel related expenses should enter only on a B-1, WB or J-1 visa (WT and B-2 visa do not permit reimbursement of any expenses). Individuals who enter via automobile from Canada or Mexico should enter on a J-visa. Canadian visitors are not required to have an I-94 when entering the country.
In order to be reimbursed airfares, travel must take place on a U.S. Carrier.
