Dear Members and Friends of the GSA,
We are happy to announce that the registration portal is now open for our conference in Arlington, VA, taking place from 25 to 28 September 2025. Your emailed receipt from Johns Hopkins will include a link to reserve your room at the discounted GSA conference rate at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, so make sure to check your spam folders if you don’t see it in your inbox.
After you select the dates and room on the conference hotel registration page, you may, on the “Guest Information” page, request an accessible room (check the “Accessible room” box in the “Requests” section) and include other notes for the hotel. Please note that there is a limited number of accessible rooms; if you require an accessible room, we recommend booking it as soon as possible and getting in touch with us directly if you have any questions.
We have updated our conference webpage to include new information for GSA 2025 participants, including meal and registration rates and presentation guidelines. There will be more conference information coming throughout the summer. You will also find a link to the preliminary schedule housed on our OpenWater site.
Please check the preliminary schedule carefully. We have worked hard to accommodate all received requests regarding scheduling, placement in rooms with sound equipment, and honoring the order of panels in series. If you wish to submit a correction (e.g. to your listed institutional affiliation), please complete this form by June 30th at the latest. No changes will be made to the program after June 30.
As you register, please consider donating to our Community Fund or purchasing a meal ticket for a GSA graduate student.
Thank you to the Program Committee volunteers for all their hard work putting together this program!
Enjoy your summer, and we look forward to seeing you in Arlington and Washington DC in September,
Margaret E. Menninger, Executive Director
Josh Seale, Operations Director
