This online social "meet up" center is the official site sponsored by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) to assist members who are attending the 41st Annual American Art Therapy Association Conference in Sacramento, California. The "meet up" center will coordinate social activities and hotel room sharing.

It is important to note that all conference and events registration, as well as hotel reservations, are being coordinated through the official conference website, http://www.aataconference.org/. You should not use this section of the website to register for the AATA conference, events, or to book your hotel room.
