I always sign up for at least one sponsored luncheon during the conference. At IAJGS luncheons, you may hear not only special announcements regarding newly available resources, but also invited speakers/researchers who expound on their knowledge particular to their sponsor’s research area.

All the luncheons at the Seattle IAJGS conference will be held from 12:00 – 1:30 PM.

Space at luncheons is limited. We suggest you register as soon as possible for those luncheons you wish to attend. Kosher ($54) and non-Kosher ($44) options are available for all luncheons, with the exception of the JRI-Poland luncheon. Only Kosher food will be served at the JRI-Poland luncheon and, as a result of a generous donation, all plates at the JRI-luncheon will be the same price ($44).
