The AAA's 1999 Annual Western Regional conference will be held at the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel in Newport Beach, California during April 29-May 1, 1999. Now in its 34th year, the Western Regional Meeting brings together 250-300 scholars--faculty, administrators and doctoral students--for presentations of papers, panels and workshops on new developments in accounting. The theme of the conference will be Electronic Commerce.

        The Westin is a well located business hotel nestled in the heart of Southern California's Orange County. Close to fine beaches and attractions like Disneyland, the hotel is a short free shuttle ride from the John Wayne Orange County International Airport. There also are a host of shuttles connecting the hotel with the Los Angeles International Airport and other airports serving Southern California. Special discount rates have been negotiated by the American Accounting Association for the hotel and airfares.

       Papers submitted for presentation have been blind refereed, and authors of accepted papers can chose to have either an abstract or an up-to-eight-page version published in the Proceedings. Five copies of completed manuscripts conforming to The Accounting Review style guidelines are to be submitted; the submission deadline was November 1, 1998. Papers will be presented in 90 minute concurrent sessions on Friday, April 30 and Saturday, May 1.
