Exciting Changes to the Program Schedule

After many discussions and considerations, several noticeable changes will be present in this year’s program. There will be:

  • A hybrid option to attend this year’s conference. In addition to being able to attend the opening keynote session and two plenary sessions, hybrid attendees will have three concurrent sessions during most time slots throughout the three-day conference.
  • Sessions on Saturday identified to be of interest to K-12 audiences. For the first time, AMTE will offer a one-day Saturday registration ($55) that includes lunch for K-12 educators.
  • A light continental breakfast provided on Thursday morning.
