		BAAM Convention Overview How BAAM Works: The BAAM convention is a multi-track, session-oriented academic and professional meeting open to all. The BAAM convention generally opens with an invited keynote address by an internationally known scholar speaking on a topic of general interest to BAAM attendees. Following the keynote address, breakout sessions on a variety of topics occur throughout the day. These sessions are either selected from submitted proposals or invited by BAAM. A poster session featuring research by scholars from regional universities ends the convention. BAAM also features participatory workshops, usually by invited presenters, on topics of practical interest to BAAM attendees, often including non-professionals. Workshops are longer than most sessions and generally require the payment of an additional fee. Registered attendees may attend the keynote address, any regular or invited session, and any open meeting on the day or days for which they are registered. Workshops are open only to those who have paid the workshop fee. Registration Cost: At the door registration fees for regular members are expected to be about $60/both days; $35/one day. For students, $30 both days; $20/one day. You may pay by cash, check, or credit card (Mastercard or Visa only). Advance registration saves $5 to $10. (Fees subject to change.) Location: The meetings will be held at the Student Center on the Campus of Eastern Michigan University. This is a brand new building on Eastern's campus (Campus Map). Get off of Washtenaw/Cross and take Oakwood North. The New Student Center is about 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Washtenaw and Oakwood on your right. (It can also be accessed by going south on Oakwood off of Huron River Drive.) Enter the Student Center and go to the south end of the 2nd Floor for registration .
