The 2021 AME Roundup Conference is going Virtual!

The virtual conference will take place
January 18-22, 2021

As health and safety is a core value of AME, we are excited to deliver both the sessions and exhibit hall (including the core shack) in a virtual format that will ensure the safety of our members. As an added bonus, you will be able to access live and on-demand programming from anywhere in the world. Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more details to help you get a feel for what a virtual Roundup will be like.
