Galcom International (Galcom.org) first hosted an NASB annual meeting in 2010.  Now, 14 years later, Galcom is hosting the 2024 NASB Annual Meeting at its headquarters in Hamilton, Ontario -- about half-way between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Join with other shortwave broadcasters, shortwave listeners and others with an interest in shortwave radio at this gathering in July 2024.  

Airports: The Toronto and Buffalo (New York) airports are the same distance from Hamilton (about an hour or so). If you fly to Buffalo you can rent a car to drive to Hamilton. We are not aware of any service like Uber that will bring you across the border.  From Toronto there are two other options besides renting a car. The better is Airways Transit that will bring you right to the hotel in Hamilton.

The other option from the Toronto airport is the Go Bus, it will bring you to downtown Hamilton and Galcom can arrange pick-up from there. It’s very inexpensive but awkward to purchase the ticket, find the stop, get on the correct bus, etc.

It is possible to fly to the Hamilton airport via Toronto, but some of the layovers in Toronto are very long.  But it's worth checking out from your location.  

International attendees can fly into the Toronto airport and travel to Hamilton by bus, taxi/Uber,  or rental car.  It's also possible to fly to the Buffalo, New York airport and travel by rental car to Hamilton.

US citizens will need a passport to fly to Canada, or a passport or passport card to cross the border by land.  Citizens of other countries will need a passport whether they fly to Canada or cross the border from the US by car.

Accommodations:  Galcom has reserved a block of rooms for NASB attendees at a 15% discount at the C Hotel by Carmen's, a Best Western Premier hotel, about a mile from Galcom headquarters.  You can reserve a room by sending an email to:  reservations@carmenshotel.com, or by calling the hotel at 1-905-381-9898.  In your email or when you call them, mention that you are with the Grace Constable group.  (Grace Constable of Galcom made the reservation, and it is in her name.)  They will send you an email confirmation of your reservation.  It may have the name of Grace Constable on the email, but there is a confirmation number for your specific room.  The special group rate is C$178.49 per night (about US$129.00).  Do not send your credit card information in your email; just give them your name and email address for the reservation confirmation.  Note:  The hotel price does not include breakfast, but the hotel has a restaurant which serves breakfast for an additional charge.
