The conference site is the Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando, FL. The hotel room rate is $169 for a single or double room. The deadline for reservations is November 30, 2016 or when the room block is full. Filling the rooms in our block at the conference hotel helps to reduce some of the conference expenses paid by AMTE, so please help support AMTE by staying at the conference hotel. Information about hotel reservations will be on the AMTE website in early August.

Beginning in early August, the conference registration process will open on the AMTE website. The registration deadline is November 30, 2016. Early registration at reduced rates is available through September 30. Check the AMTE Conference Information page for the latest updates.

We hope to see you in Orlando in February!
