AMIA 2024 | Registration
The conference offers parallel session tracks as well as workshops, screenings, receptions and the Pavilion for exhibitors and activities. Check back as conference events are added and note that the program session schedule may change.
In an effort to make the annual conference accessible to as many as possible, AMIA offers conference registration fees on a sliding scale. The categories listed next to “Full Registration” are intended to reflect factors that affect an attendees ability to attend the conference. The Supporter Level is for those able to support student and unsubsidized rates — your support assists your early career colleagues to be able to attend the conference! At the supporter rate, $100 of your registration is tax deductible and a donation letter will be sent to you.
AMIA Members also receive a $75 discount on registration fees. Look for the member rate when registering.
