2025 | Registration
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.
Workshops, tours, and other events will continue to be added – check back regularly!
AMIA Members also receive a discount on registration fees. Look for the member rate when registering.

TRAVEL GRANTS
Travel grant applications are now closed.
Travel Grants are open to members and to those who engage or plan to engage with the AMIA community. While past funding recipients are eligible to apply, consideration is given to those who have not recently received funding. Grants of up to $1,000 for travel to the annual Conference are available.
San Francisco Film Preserve Travel Grant. The San Francisco Film Preserve Travel Grant was established to help develop and support new media archivists, the caretakers of our film heritage. The Grant provides travel funding for the AMIA Annual Conference and is intended for those entering the field, new professionals, or archivists from developing regions. Two grants of $500 each will be awarded in 2025.
Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grants. The Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grant offers two grants, up to $1,000 each, in funding for travel costs to the annual AMIA conference.
AMIA Community Fund. The Community Fund was established to pay tribute to the work of AMIA members and, through donations, offer colleagues, friends and families a way to honor contributions to the moving image field. The number of travel grants varies each year. Travel grants are funded through donations from members and donors so the number of grants varies each year. Application deadline: October 18, 2025.
