The First International Conference on Lao Studies
was overwhelmingly successful due to your contribution and participation. The
conference brought together over 350 people from five continents and 15
different countries, of which over 20 participants were from Lao PDR. This
three-day conference consisted of 36 sessions and featured over 110
presenters. Representatives from various ethnic groups (e.g., Hmong, Tai Dam,
Khmu), religious affiliations (e.g., Buddhist monks and Christian pastors),
Lao overseas and Lao PDR scholars, high school students, university
professors, and community members were participants at ICLS, truly making it
an international gathering. The number of people who participated in the Lao
Culture Night in Elgin was over 600. The success of the conference also garnered three university institutions to compete to host the next conference. The next Lao Studies conference will be in 2007, hosted by Arizona State University at Tempe, which currently has an active Lao Studies program. See: https://www.asu.edu/clas/pseas/laos/
