University Conference & Guest Services
Following the university-wide update regarding campus operations being put in place this fall, American University Conference & Guest Services will be continuing its restriction on in-person events and conferences throughout the 2020 Fall Semester. As the response to COVID-19 continues, American University maintains its cancellation of all summer residential programs, including summer conferences, programs, and lodging on campus. University Conference & Guest Services will continue to respond to all inquiries and questions while working remotely. For questions regarding future events please email conferences@american.edu or call 202-885-8247 with your name, phone number, and email, and someone will be in touch with you.
