↪ Yes! Attendees will have the opportunity to complete an online evaluation for the overall Annual Meeting and for each CE session attended. Attendees will be sent an email from amtmeetings@americanmedtech.org with links to complete the surveys. Completing these evaluations helps to improve future meetings.

I can’t afford the CE expense or the potential extra hotel night – how can I still attend?

↪ Charging for CE is mirrored in practice by other professional associations. The Board understands that the CE fees and extra hotel nights could be burdensome for our delegates and for any of our other 80,000 members. AMT strives to make all CE affordable. To that end, we believe that $10/CE hour is very reasonable. If affordability is an issue, CE can be obtained in a variety of other modalities and price points. This year, signing up for CE will be BY SESSION, so that you will have the opportunity to pay less if there are timeslots that you don’t want to attend. However, we encourage you to take advantage of all CE sessions. The keynote address will be free to attendees with 1 hour of CE credit awarded to all who attend.

What about registration fees?

↪ There will be no package registration fee as was the case in previous years -- only the $10/CE hour charge if attending sessions. Note that delegates and members will still have to “register” for the meeting but will only incur costs if attending CE sessions.

My state society is already budgeted for delegate travel. How will this new format affect my budget?

↪ There shouldn’t be any reason for the budget to work differently than in the past. Delegate charges for airfare and hotel, as well as the stipend, will be charged back to the states. If a state is out of reserves, the charges will be taken out of the national budget.

What will the stipend cover?

↪ The stipend will be sent to all delegates after fulfillment of delegate duties. The stipend this year will be $400/delegate (slightly more for those with extra meeting days, like Board/Council/EQS). It is intended to help cover typical transportation fees to/from the airport, 1 checked bag each way, 4 lunches (Sun-Wed or Mon-Thurs) and 2 dinners (Sun and Wed, with AMT-provided dinners occurring on Monday and Tuesday) at the rates indicated by the AMT Travel Policy. Note that airfare and lodging will be placed on the state society card.

What about hotel, airline travel?

↪ Airline reservations will be made by each delegate through TravelEx, coordinated by your state society. The same will hold true for hotel reservations. It will be the responsibility of each delegate to extend reservations with a personal credit card for any stay beyond the 4 designated nights. Please do not reach out to book airline or hotel until you receive instructions from your state society president/treasurer.

What if I want to drive?

↪ You do not need to have pre-approval if you are driving your own car. You will need pre-approval if you want to rent a car. Please send this request to staterequest@americanmedtech.org. To submit for mileage reimbursement, please submit a reimbursement form, along with a comparison of mileage costs vs airfare to your state society president after annual meeting has concluded. DO NOT SUBMIT for tolls and parking as that is already a part of the stipend.

What about other modes of ground transportation?

↪ If you prefer to travel by train or bus, you may also submit for reimbursement, along with a comparison of train/bus costs vs airfare to your state society president after annual meeting has concluded.

Will I need to submit expense reports?

↪ With airfare and hotel being covered by AMT/states and a stipend available to delegates after the meeting, there will not be a need to submit expense forms, with one exception. Delegates driving to the meeting and wanting to submit for mileage reimbursement can submit an expense form at the conclusion of the meeting, comparing costs with airline travel (as per the AMT Travel Policy).

I am an award winner/committee chair/past president, will my expenses be handled differently?

↪ No, since individuals in these special situations also tend to be delegates, the regular delegate reimbursement policy will cover the same expenses. The advantage is a simpler, more straight-forward process. State budget considerations will be given for those expenses that were traditionally paid by the AMT home office.

What are the plans for the First Time Delegate/Member Orientation session on Monday?

↪ This session will be open to all attendees and seating will be arranged by district to promote networking. State society presidents, District Councillors and Board of Directors will be especially encouraged to attend. Lunch will NOT be provided, but time will be allotted (12:00-12:45) to purchase lunch and bring it back to the session to eat together with the first-time delegates/members. The session will also include a brief presentation.

Break it down for me…what are my options and how much will I have to pay on my own (expenses not covered by my state or AMT national)?

↪ Option 1: Attending as a delegate only: no out-of-pocket for a delegate. Generally speaking, all expenses for attending the business meetings, breakfast Mon-Wed, and designated social events will be covered by your state or AMT. A stipend received after the meeting will help offset other expenses incurred (a flat fee to cover average costs incurred by a delegate, see details above)

↪ Option 2: Attending as a delegate AND participating in Mon-Wed CE sessions (a total of 9 CE hours): same as Option 1 + $80 total if attending all sessions on those days (keynote address is offered free of charge). CE can be ordered ala carte.

↪ Option 3: Attending as a delegate AND attending the Mon-Wed CE sessions AND attending the Thursday all-day CE sessions (a total of 15 CE ours): Same as Option 1 + $140 total if attending all sessions on those days. CE can be ordered ala carte. Thursday meals, other than breakfast, and one hotel night on Thursday evening may be needed and will be paid for by the participant (not reimbursable by AMT).

I am planning to stay over on Thursday night and will need to pay for that night on my own. What is the room rate at the hotel?

↪ The 2025 AMT Annual Meeting is being held at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown at a group rate of $179 per night. Although you are encouraged to use the room block, there are other hotels nearby that may offer better rates.

Will the CE-only day always be on Thursdays from now on?

↪ Moving the CE sessions closer to a weekend presents a greater opportunity for local members who work during the week to participate. Because of hotel contracts, we were not able to completely shift the schedule in Pittsburgh but in future years, the all-day CE session will be targeted for Friday or Saturday.

Can I register for more CE sessions onsite? Can I make changes onsite? Can I buy extra banquet/welcome party tickets onsite?

↪ Because of the need to program QR codes and badging, we are setting July 10 as the deadline for any orders or changes. We strongly encourage members to purchase/change CE sessions and purchase extra tickets by this date.

What if a speaker cancels at the last minute?

↪ We will do everything we can to offer a speaker replacement. If this cannot be done, and if the attendee does not want to attend a session on another track, we will offer a refund.

Will there be an AMT Store onsite?

↪ Yes, we will offer AMT merchandise for sale, but only with a credit card. Please note that a state society credit card cannot be used for these purchases.

Is the hotel cashless?

↪ No, the hotel accepts cash.

If I am selected as a speaker on Thursday, will Thursday night hotel be paid for AMT?

↪ If this situation occurs, AMT will collaborate with the speaker for proper compensation.

Who is eligible to vote during the Annual Business Meeting?

↪ Credentialed AMT delegates will receive an electronic ballot from Electionbuddy.com via their email or text message on Tuesday, July 22 at 3:00 PM CT. The window for voting is open until Wednesday, July 23 at 1:00 PM CT.

What if I have questions or need help?

↪ Visit the voting/delegate changes/help desk where an AMT staff member will be available to answer any questions or help with accessing the ballot. It is imperative that all delegates have a non-work-related email or cell phone number on file before the voting begins. Delegates can update their information by logging into their My AMT Portal.

↪ A printed copy of the Annual Business Meeting reports will be available to delegates upon check-in and available online in the Delegate online community library.

When and where is next year's Annual Meeting?

↪ The 2026 AMT Annual Meeting will be held in Columbus, Ohio, July 21-25, 2026.
