The AMC does not provide meals. There are many food options in the immediate area. The AMC features a two-hour lunch break this year, affording more time for grabbing a meal, or joining lunchtime caucus meetings and meet-ups. If you have special needs regarding food access, please describe them in the "Comments and special requests" field when you register.
Help us raise awareness of the AMC by telling restaurant staff that you are coming from the conference!
