The 135th annual meeting of the American Historical Association will be held Thursday through Sunday, January 6–9, 2022, in New Orleans. The online program will be posted on the AHA website in mid-September at historians.org/program, and members can look forward to receiving the printed program in mid-November. A meeting app will also be available for smartphones and tablets. Annual meeting sessions and events are scheduled at the New Orleans Marriott and the Sheraton New Orleans. The hotels are right across the street from each other.

Preregistration begins in mid-September at historians.org/myaha. The lower preregistration rates will be in effect through December 15; after that, the higher onsite rates apply. Registration will be available online from September 15 until the end of the meeting, and in person beginning at 11:00 a.m. on January 6 in the Mardi Gras Ballroom of the New Orleans Marriott.

Admission to the Exhibit Hall requires a 2022 meeting registration badge.

Hotel reservations: Attendees will make hotel reservations for both standard rooms and suites though the AHA’s housing service, Maritz Global Events. In addition to the Marriott and Sheraton, discounted rooms will be available at the JW Marriott New Orleans and the Hotel Monteleone. See the AHA’s website at historians.org/hotels for detailed information. Beginning September 15, reservations can be made online or by calling a toll-free number. AHA rates are available three days before and after the meeting dates, depending on the number of rooms available.

The last day to make or change reservations through the housing service is December 10, 2021. After that date, rooms will be available at the AHA’s convention rates on a space-available basis, and all reservations, changes, and cancellations must be made directly with the hotels. Hotel no-show policies will apply for reservations not canceled at least 72 hours before the first night’s stay.
