Conference: American Society for Premodern Asia Annual Meeting, Los Angeles, CA, April 24–27, 2026
April 24 - April 27
From the organizers:
The 236th Meeting of the American Society for Premodern Asia will be held Friday, April 24, 2026 through Monday, April 27, 2026, in Los Angeles, CA USA.
Hotel and Reservations: A block of conference-rate accommodations has been reserved at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza, 251 South Olive Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 USA.
The conference rate per night for rooms is $249-$309. Occupancy tax is 16.22%. Hotel’s check-in time is 4:00 pm; check-out time is 12:00 noon.
You must make reservations directly with the hotel well in advance of the meeting, no later than Monday, April 6, 2026. After the cutoff date, any uncommitted rooms in the block we have reserved will be released for general sale, and additional reservation requests will be accepted if rooms are available and without the conference discount. The conference rate also applies 3 days prior and 3 days after the conference, based upon availability.
Reservations may be made by phoning the hotel at 1-800-THE-OMNI (general Omni number) or (213) 356-4070 (Direct). You need to identify yourself as a member of the AOS/ASPA and mention “American Oriental Society/American Society for Premodern Asia 2026 Conference” and the date the room block begins, which is April 22, 2026. It is also possible to reserve by visiting our customized Group Web Page.
The Society’s contract with the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza for securing conference rates requires that a minimum number of rooms per night be reserved and occupied by members for the duration of the meeting. Thus, your stay at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza assures that the ASPA will not be assessed extremely high fees for meeting and banquet space rental. We truly need your cooperation in this matter.
Directions, Parking, and Transportation:
All sessions will be held at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza. The Annual Subscription Banquet and Presidential Address will take place on Sunday evening, April 26, also at the hotel. The Program, which will be accessible online in late January 2026, will provide information on other special activities and events to take place during the meeting.
