The meeting's in-person program is at the Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina.
The listed audiences include folklorists, oral historians, artists, ethnomusicologists, and cultural workers.
It is most useful for academic folklorists, ethnomusicologists, oral historians and cultural workers, since it is the society's 138th annual meeting and this year's theme concerns displaced communities and their stories, songs and foodways. Readers looking for a vendor-driven or career-credential event will find less here, as the gathering is a scholarly and practitioner meeting of a learned society.
Attendees at academic humanities meetings usually wear casual or smart casual clothing, with layers and comfortable shoes for Asheville in late October.
