Places to Eat

The Allied Media Conference offers participants a light breakfast of bagels, cream cheese and jam, coffee, tea and juice on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the conference.

The AMC is not serving other meals. There are many food options in the immediate area. The AMC features a two-hour lunch break on Friday and Saturday, affording time for grabbing a meal, or joining lunchtime caucuses and meet-ups.

If you have special needs regarding food access, please describe them in the "Comments and special requests" field when you register, or contact us.

Help us raise awareness of the AMC by telling restaurant staff that you are coming from the conference.
