Conference Hotel
3700 Wailea Alanui Drive, Wailea, Hawaii 96753
The AMOS Conference contracts a modest 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.
With the unprecedented growth of the AMOS Conference and commitments to conference leadership and stakeholders to help offset conference expenses, the room block is fully committed.
Please see alternative lodging options listed below.

Transportation
Kahului Airport (OGG) is the primary airport on the island of Maui. Maui is served by many leading US airlines and international carriers. In many cases direct flights to OGG are available. Many passengers first arrive at Honolulu International Airport (HNL) and then travel to Maui via an inter-island airline.
There are a number of ways to get to and from Kahului Airport. The airport is accessible by car, shuttle, taxi and public transit.
Rental cars are in high demand, so please plan ahead to secure a reservation first before making the rest of your travel arrangements. Instead of renting a vehicle, consider alternate transportation options including ride share, public transportation and shuttle/taxi services.
Airport Shuttles and Taxis
Shuttle service counters and airport taxis are located in the main baggage claim area. For on-demand airport shuttle service, please contact the Roberts Hawaii kiosk at the Kahului Airport at 808-954-8630 (local) or 1-866-293-1782 (toll free).
Ride Share
On-the-spot transportation can be requested through the mobile apps UBER, LYFT and Holoholo.
