Conference organizers welcome individual papers and organized sessions relating to a wide variety of topics inclusive within the diverse realm of regional science. We are an international scholarly organization that focuses on regional analysis, ranging from urban and spatial theory to applied problems in regional development, sustainability, environmental management, and rural land use. We are an interdisciplinary association, with members representing fields as diverse as economics, agricultural economics, public policy, urban planning, civil engineering, geography, finance, sociology and demography. The annual North American RSAI conference is the premier regional science meeting in North America and attracts scholars and practitioners from around the world. You can participate in the conference in several ways. You can submit a proposal to present a paper; alternatively, you can prepare a poster that will be displayed during the conference, if your work is conducive to visual communication. You can organize a panel session aimed at discussing a cutting-edge topic of Regional Science. Finally, you can organize a paper session contributed to by four scholars. A block of rooms have been reserved at the Ottawa Westin for the nights of November 7-11, 2012. The cut-off date for making room reservations at the discounted rate is October 16, 2012. Graduate students are encouraged to submit their work to compete in one of the two student paper contests. More information is available on-line at http://www.narsc.org/newsite/?page_id=32.
