Attendee FAQ

Registration is not confirmed until payment is made. Early bird registrations must be paid by the deadline of June 30. Any registrations that are incomplete after June 30 (i.e. without payment) will lose the early bird rate.  Details on rates can be found at https://amostech.com/registration

You will receive confirmation of registration in an email from noreply@xcdsystem.com with an invoice  attached. The name on the invoice is the name of the registrant (unless the invoice is for a group.) We do not issue physical tickets. When you check-in at AMOS, staff will check for your name in the system and check your ID.

Yes you can, however you secure the better rate when you register in advance. The early bird rate ends June 30, and the advanced rate ends September 1. Registering in advance also means you have access to the virtual platform when it opens September 13 to get familiar and to start networking.

In-person registration may end early if capacity of the venue is reached. 

You can login to the registration and update your profile and you can add short courses to your existing registration. When you add a short course keep all other registration details, including registration type. At checkout you will be prompted to pay the additional short course fee(s) – $105 per course

Warning: If you remove/delete the registration type you will be cancelling your registration!

No. Virtual registration does not allow access to the in-person venue and/or events.

The AMOS Conference contracts a limited block of rooms at the Wailea Beach Resort Marriott. As often happens with large Conferences, it is not feasible to house all participants at a single venue.

The unprecedented growth of the AMOS Conference and commitments to conference leadership and stakeholders has led to our room block reaching capacity and it is SOLD-OUT. We recommend you secure alternative lodging with options listed at – https://amostech.com/attendee-info/

Complimentary self-parking is available for participants not staying on property. With anticipated numbers, and the majority of attendees staying elsewhere, we encourage you to carpool if possible. If the parking structure is full, overflow parking is available next door at The Shops at Wailea.

Participants’ daily participation will be on the agreement that they are not exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 including raised temperature, cough or shortness of breath.
