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. 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. Join with other shortwave broadcasters, shortwave listeners and others with an interest in shortwave radio at this gathering in July 2024.
Accommodations: Galcom is organizing accommodations at a local hotel or university at special rates for NASB annual meeting attendees. Details about this will be announced soon here on the NASB webpage.
