Make your plans now to attend the 2026 AMTE Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon for the 30th AMTE Conference on February 5-7, 2026. The Conferences Committee is busy making arrangements for meeting spaces, planning menus, and anticipating audio/visual needs to provide opportunities for attendees to learn, share, and collaborate with one another. The conference will begin on Thursday morning and includes the annual AMTE Business Meeting.
The Call for Proposals for this year’s conference recently closed on May 19th. Similar to last year, there is an opportunity to submit a hybrid session. There are plans to again have a few designated rooms for hybrid sessions for the entire conference. Look for more information about this in the Fall 2025 newsletter. In addition, the Program Committee received 494 proposal submissions and had over 264 volunteers to serve as reviewers! Speaker notification of acceptance is approximately August 15, 2025.
The conference site is the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront in Portland, Oregon. The hotel room rate is $179 (plus taxes) for a single or double room and there is no additional charge for three or four guests per room. Overnight valet parking for attendees is $39 per night. The deadline for hotel reservations is Monday, January 12, 2026 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. The AMTE group block is available to book via the hotel booking link.
Conference Registration will open in August on the AMTE website. Speaker registration is required by September 30, 2025, and the early registration at reduced rates is available through October 15, 2025. The regular registration deadline is December 15, 2025. Check the AMTE Conference Information page for the latest updates.
We hope to see you in Portland, Oregon in February!
