Women's Media Equity Collaborative Summit to be Held within AMC2009

The AMC has opened its doors to organizations and networks that want to use the conference as a convergence point. In addition to the caucuses, meet-ups and strategy sessions that happen throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the AMC, we are also inviting groups to hold longer meetings on Thursday, July 16, and on Monday, July 20, the day after the close of the AMC. There are still rooms available for your meeting on these days. To reserve your space, please contact us.

May Day = 75 Days Until the AMC

Happy May Day! We hope yours is filled with sunshine and solidarity. We received so many incredible sessions proposals. We are still making a lot of hard decisions as we build this year's Allied Media Conference program. If you submitted a proposal and haven't heard from us yet, expect a response by mid-May at the latest. In the meantime, check out this cute picture of the AMP staff collective taken in the middle of our three day session review retreat. Photo by Vanessa Miller.
