The Annual Convention of The Augustan Society, Inc., will be held on or after 18 August of each calendar year. Normally, this is centered around the Saturday on or next following the 18th, but there is no reason why it could not be delayed further, perhaps much further, for cause.
 
==Hosts==
 
Each Annual Convention is organized by a Host, appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the [President]].
 
Host duties include:
 
# Selection of a hotel
# Identifying meeting space if it is to be rented (if not meeting in a suite)
# Selecting restaurants suitable for Fellows Dinner and Banquet, plus other restaurants suitable for casual breakfasts and lunches
# Recommending social activities as may seem appropriate
# Should attendance be expected to exceed twelve, the Host should attempt to solicit a speaker. Authorization for comping his meal (perhaps plus one) or any honorarium must be obtained from the President and be within the budget.
 
Hosts are not authorized to obligate the Society nor are they expected to pay for any activity other than their own. Such arrangements are possible, where appropriate, but require prior Board or Consular approval.
