AMS Advertising, Sponsorship, Exhibiting, and Promotional Activities Policy

The American Montessori Society (AMS) is committed to ensuring that all advertising, sponsorship, exhibiting, and promotional activities reflect our mission and support our members.

General Advertising, Sponsorship, and Exhibiting Policy

  • All advertisements, sponsorships, exhibiting, and promotional opportunities are subject to review and approval by AMS.
  • AMS reserves the right to reject or cancel any request at its sole discretion, including but not limited to:
    • Content that is misleading, offensive, or inconsistent with AMS’s mission.
    • Products/services that compete with AMS products or services.
    • Advertisers or exhibitors with unresolved credit or legal issues.

Teacher Education Programs

  • AMS only permits advertising, sponsorship, exhibiting, and promotional activities from Montessori Teacher Education Programs (TEPs) that are affiliated with AMS.
    • This policy ensures that the programs we feature meet AMS’s standards for quality, accountability, and alignment with Montessori principles. By limiting advertising to AMS-affiliated TEPs, we help prospective educators connect with trusted programs and uphold our responsibility to support and promote high-quality teacher preparation within the Montessori community.

Schools

  • Only AMS member schools are eligible to exhibit at The Montessori Event.
    • This policy is designed to ensure that schools represented in the exhibit hall are part of the AMS community, while continuing to welcome companies and organizations that provide valuable products and services to Montessori educators.

Event Policy on Promotional Activities Outside Contracted Spaces

  • Any promotional activity directed toward attendees of The Montessori Event or other AMS in-person events, whether through branded giveaways, hosted events, or other activations, must take place within the exhibitor’s contracted space or within officially sponsored opportunities approved in advance by AMS. Promotion to attendees is expressly prohibited in public areas such as lobbies, hallways, or other shared spaces of convention centers, hotels, or restaurants, unless expressly approved by AMS, regardless of whether AMS has a contractual agreement with those venues. This applies to any location reasonably expected to be used by AMS event attendees during the event. Additionally, use of AMS-managed communication channels (including the conference app) for unapproved promotions is prohibited and may result in removal from the event and/or loss of future participation privileges.

Failure to comply with this policy may result in withdrawal of advertising, sponsorship, exhibiting, or promotional activities privileges without refund, as well as loss of eligibility for future AMS opportunities. AMS reserves the right to update or amend this policy at any time.
