Registration is now open for the ASN’s meeting on January 8–12, 2027! Please click here (amnat2027.org) to register or find out more information. The ASN is meeting at The Mansion at Glen Cove, NY

The ASN’s last seven stand-alone meetings have taken place either at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, or once virtually during the pandemic. Although we love it at Asilomar, we have also taken to heart participants’ and nonparticipants’ feedback that alternating to a different venue would boost participation and open the conference up to those for whom travel to the West Coast is too much of a reach. We are therefore very excited to announce our 2027 meeting venue, The Mansion at Glen Cove on Long Island, New York—a lovely Georgian manor house designed by Charles A. Platt that once served as a Herber Hoover’s summer White House. The venue is within sight of Long Island Sound and just around the corner from Clark Botanical Gardens, Theodore Roosevelt’s historic home in Oyster Bay, Planting Fields Arboretum, the African American Museum and Center For Education and Applied Arts, whale watching, and more!
