Dear WRSA Members and Friends,
This is a reminder to submit your paper by the deadline for our 66th annual meeting, which will be held in Carlsbad (San Diego County), CA, from Feb 14 to Feb 17, 2027.
The final due date for your paper submission (Nov 30th, 2026) is just 21 days away.
Be sure to get your paper submitted before then!Ready to submit? There’s no reason to wait until the last minute. Simply visit the WRSA website and use the Login/Register link in the Member Area (under the Membership Menu) to upload your paper and register for the meeting.
I also encourage you to make your travel arrangements early. We will be meeting at Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa, a coastal retreat just north of San Diego, CA. Nestled along the scenic Carlsbad coastline just north of San Diego, Westin Carlsbad offers a serene coastal retreat with upscale accommodations and world-class amenities, providing the perfect setting to relax, reconnect, and enjoy our annual meeting.
Our negotiated group rate is $239 per night, plus applicable taxes. As a special benefit for WRSA members, the resort fee (normally $35 per night) has been waived.
See the “Hotel Information” link on the WRSA website. The hotel has agreed to honor our special room rate three days prior to and three days following our meetings (Feb 11th through Feb 20th), based on availability.
You can reserve your room using this link, or by calling (833) 489-4455
and requesting the Western Regional Science Association group rate.
Please note: after January 16, 2027, or as soon as our block fills, the hotel will no longer honor our special room rate! Be sure to book early!
I’m also looking for several students to assist with meeting registration in Carlsbad, CA. In exchange for 10-12 hours of volunteering at the registration desk, students will receive a complete rebate of their pre-registration fees (worth $180, to be processed as a refund following the meeting).
Contact me if you’re interested.
All the best,
Jaewon Lim, Ph.D.
