AWP has received a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs to support the upcoming 2016 Conference & Bookfair in Los Angeles. A portion of this grant has been allocated to subsidize half of the registration fees for individuals that live, attend school, or work in the City of Los Angeles.  

Use our interactive map to help determine if you live, attend school, or work within the borders of LA City (and not the County). The subsidies will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis until the allocated funding is exhausted. A subsidy can only be applied to one registration per transaction.

Applying a subsidy to your conference registration is very simple:

1. Log in or create a free account on our website.
2. Visit the 2016 Conference Registration Discount for Los Angeles Residents, Students, & Workers page in the online store to view the Terms and Conditions and select the appropriate subsidy.
3. Add the matching conference registration to your cart in the AWP online store and check out.

The address, enrollment status, or location of employment of the subsidy recipient is subject to verification because AWP must be able to show proof of compliance with the terms of the grant. The subsidy is only available to those who have not yet registered and cannot be retroactively applied to an existing conference registration.

We look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles!

At this time, funding under the grant has been nearly exhausted or exhausted. The City was able to discount registration costs for over 100 of its residents, students, and workers. AWP’s conference, a national event with a regional focus, has become the largest literary gathering in North America and brings up to $20 million in economic activity to its host city.
