ASA2011
The 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting and General Meeting (ASA2011) will be hosted by the University of Adelaide
from the evening of Sunday July 3 to Thursday July 7 2011.
Future ASA Scientific Meetings
In past years there have been some potential conflicts between the dates of
ASA Scientific Meetings and other astronomical conferences arranged by
Australian astronomers. To help meeting organisers plan their dates,
the following list gives the AVCC Common Weeks during the
July university holidays when the ASA would normally plan to hold its
Scientific Meeting. These should be regarded as tentative
dates for ASA meetings for the next few years.

Previous ASA Scientific Meetings
An Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) has been held in conjunction with the Society Annual General Meeting (AGM)
since the ASA's formation in 1966. From 1966 to 1969, the meetings were in November or December.
After a transition in 1970, the ASM/AGM moved to May to coincide with common vacation weeks in a 3 term university year.
This timing continued from 1971 until 1987. The 1988 meeting was in August to coincide with the opening of the AT.
Subsequent meetings have been in July to coincide with common vacation weeks in a 2 semester university year, with
the sole exception of the October 1991 meeting.
