Membership and Registration
Membership
Welcome to the registration and membership page for the 2012 PCA/ACA National Conference to be held at the Copley Marriott in Boston April 11 to the 14th. For those who have attended previous conferences, you will find the system easier to use this year. In the past, attendees have had to sign up for membership by selecting and paying for the Journal of Popular Culture or the Journal of American Culture on a separate website. This system never worked well. Now, both conference registration and signing up for a journal can be accomplished on this website, which should make the process much easier.
We are also offering participants the ability to sign up to receive the journals electronically. You can still, however, receive a paper copy at the same prices as last year. For those choosing the electronic option, this will save you about $20 over last year's costs. Wiley-Blackwell, the publisher of the journals, has dropped the joint membership category because they had enormous difficulty with it. For those who already have subscriptions, we have made provision on the registration site.

(Note: the fees below do not include the cost of a journal subscription because the amounts vary depending on whether you wish to receive a journal electronically or in paper.)
Occasionally people want to register by mail and check. Registering by mail requires more processing so fees are $10 more. The reason for the $10 fee is because we manually upload your paper registration to the electronic system. To register by mail click here.
