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 often leads to our room block reaching capacity. 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. Parking gates will be left open Wed-Fri. 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.

Recordings will be available on demand within 24-48 hours.
