VIRTUAL PARTICIPANT INFORMATION

Q. What technology do I need to participate virtually?
A.
A high-speed internet connection, speaker, microphone and webcam are needed to participate virtually. For the best experience, we suggest using a desktop or laptop computer and Chrome as your internet browser. If you don’t already have Chrome, you can download it for free here. While not required, you will have a better online experience if you do not use wireless internet service. A wired/ethernet connection will have a stronger signal than wireless.

As we get closer to the virtual conference, we will share instructions on how to access the Attendee Hub, which will serve as the platform to access all the conference content on either your mobile device or your PC/laptop.

We will use Zoom to broadcast the conference content. Click here to check the Zoom technical requirements and then click here to check your internet speed bandwidth. Make sure you download the Zoom client for meetings desktop application for the best experience. Do not use the version available through your web browser as it has limited features. See below for information on installing Zoom on your computer.

ZOOM Download Center — includes browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox; mobile apps for Apple and Android platforms; and plugins for Outlook, IBM Notes, and Intel Unite.

ACCELERATOR PROGRAM

Q. What is the accelerator program?
A.
The Accelerator Program is for companies bringing teams of 10+, 25+ or 50+ to the AME conference. The more people on a team who share the AME conference experience, the more impact it will have on a company’s goals and objectives. The Accelerator Program provides the perfect forum for maximizing an organization’s efforts to improve its processes and positively impact its culture.

Q. Do I belong to an accelerator program group?
A.
If your company is sending multiple people to the conference, you may be part of the Accelerator Program. Simply select the AME Accelerator Program page in the app or virtual platform. If your company is listed there, you are an Accelerator! From this page, you'll be able to view your facilitator name and contact information, your virtual debrief room information and more.

Q. Does everyone in my group need to come from the same facility or company to qualify for the accelerator program discount?
A.
Not at all! Your group can include people from different facilities within your organization or even your customers and suppliers. You’ll just need to designate a point person to get a count of how many registrations you’ll need and register for that many “TBD registrations.” Your point person will get a TBD code closer to the conference. You then send your TBD code to every member of your team so that they can register themselves. The TBD code ensures that they will not have to pay during the registration process.

Q. How does registration work?
A.
Once you pay for your registrations, you will receive a TBD code to provide to each of your team members. Each team member should register themselves using the TBD code. Employees must use their company email domain when registering with their TBD code. Our system will not recognize an employee’s personal email address as part of the Accelerator Program.

Q. I belong to an AME Consortium. Can my consortium members participate in the accelerator program?
A.
The Accelerator Program is available to members of any AME Consortium. Contact your facilitator to learn more.

Q. Must I pay for all of my registrations at once to qualify for the discount?
A.
Our Accelerator Program conference facilitators are more than willing to work with you to schedule payments and assist you with anything else you may need leading up to the conference. As soon as we process your payment, our system will produce your TBD codes so that you and your team can register for the conference.

Q. What forms of payment do you accept?
A.
You can pay by check or credit card.

Q. Do I need to pay a membership fee for each person I’m registering via the Accelerator Program?
A.
If the registrant is an AME member or belongs to an organization owning a corporate membership, no additional membership fee is required. If the registrant is not a member, they will be offered the option to purchase an individual membership for $150 or pay the $150 non-member fee. We strongly advise you to consider purchasing a corporate membership. Click here to learn more about the benefits of corporate membership.

Q. Do I have to register for my workshops and tours separately?
A.
Yes! Check out all the tours and workshops offered by viewing the schedule in the conference app or virtual platform or visiting our conference website. To register for a tour, simply add it to your schedule in the app. To register for a workshop, click here to visit our online registration portal.

Q. Do workshops and tours cost extra?
A.
Access to a tour is included in your conference registration. All conference participants are guaranteed at least one tour, though keep in mind tours fill up fast. Workshops are an additional cost and require advance registration. Find the right workshop or tour for you. 

Q. My group is not within one company, but we are attending together as an international group or as some other type of grouping. Do we qualify for the Accelerator Program?
A. Groups are reviewed for Accelerator programming by the Accelerator Program Chair. Please contact Cheryl Jekiel at accelerator@ame.org for more information.

A. Virtual content will be available on-demand for all conference participants, as permissible by each presenter/tour site.

Q. Can I share my virtual conference login information with other members of my team?
A. For every paid registration to attend virtually, only one device (computer, laptop, tablet, phone) will be allowed to enter the virtual conference.
