5. How many times can I be listed on the Program? There are two policies affecting the type of listing and the number of times an individual may be listed on the program.
   

• Only one sole-authorship is permitted per participant.


• Individuals may be listed on no more than two sessions on the Program. This includes all types of participation except being listed as organizer of a session. A “participant” is anyone listed as an author, co-author, presider, discussant, panelist, critic, roundtable presenter, discussion leader, or any similar substantive role on the program. There is, however, a “professional service” exemption for workshop leaders and for representatives listed on informational poster sessions.



6. Do I have to be a member of ASA to present my paper? All sociologists and students of sociology who are listed on the Program as participants are encouraged (but, not required) to hold membership in ASA. However, all persons listed as “Session Organizer,” must be members of the ASA.



7. Will there be access to WiFi in the meeting rooms? ASA will also provide basic wireless internet access throughout the meeting space in the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Philadelphia Marriott for both presenters and attendees. The bandwidth provided is sufficient for basic internet use including web access and email. Please refrain from streaming, downloading, or uploading large files. If you are incorporating media such as videos into your presentation, please download them to your laptop or tablet instead of streaming them online.
