Welcome to the North America Regional Section of the IASC!
The IASC was founded on May 27, 1989 and it’s legal address has been at Indiana University since then. Various global, regional and topical conferences have been organized in North America over the years. We like to facilitate events by and for IASC members in North America. Since 2018, we organize an annual workshop in March in Arizona. We like to see more events in North America, so if you want to organize something, have suggestions or questions, contact the regional coordinator Tanya Heikkila.
