Relevant FAQs

Are there vendor/exhibit opportunities for Regional Symposium?

Can a person attend the conference for only one day?

For those unable to attend the full conference due to scheduling conflicts, we now include online content to all in-person attendees. You won’t miss out on the sessions you’re unable to attend.

Alternatively, you may choose online attendance. Online and in-person attendees receive access to the entire conference library through the online Attendee Hub and app and will be able to access content online for 30 days after the conference.

Can I look through the exhibit hall without attending the event?

No, the exhibit hall is not open to the public, and only registered individuals are permitted in the convention center.

Does AMS offer scholarships to attend events?

AMS does not offer scholarships for The Montessori Event or other in-person events. However, there may be scholarship opportunties and grants available in your state or county.

Does AMS professional development count for required hours in my state?

It may be possible for professional development hours acquired at AMS in-person and/or virtual events to qualify for required hours in your state. We recommend checking with your state department of education or licensing agency for the requirements and qualifications of eligible professional development. AMS is working toward applying for recognition in a variety of states.

I am having trouble accessing my AMS Member or AMS Adult Learner Member discount on registration.

When logging into the Event website to register, be sure to use the email address and exact first name & last name on your AMS member account.
You can check this by logging into www.amshq.org and reviewing your contact information.

If I don’t want the virtual access with my In-Person registration, is there a cheaper registration option?

Online access is available for all registration options and will include access to the online Attendee Hub and mobile app. There isn’t currently a less expensive option that doesn’t include online access.

If I live locally and sign up for a school tour, do I have to take the bus or can I drive there directly?

If you would prefer to take your own transportation to the school that is acceptable, we only ask that you let the AMS staff know of these plans so we do not hold up the bus from departing.

Please contact events@amshq.org if you will not need transportation to or from the school.

Is the virtual registration live streamed?

Main stage events are live streamed, and workshops are pre-recorded.

Is there a group discount on Labposium registration?

We can assist with group registrations but do not offer a group discount for Labposium.

Is there a room block for Regional Symposium?

No, there is not a room block.

What is included in Online Attendance?

All registration options include access to the online Attendee Hub website and mobile app.

Keynote speakers and spotlight sessions will be livestreamed to the online Attendee Hub website and app. Recordings of these livestreams will be posted later on the same day.

Please visit our AMS Labposium event page for updated details.

What type of in-person events does AMS offer?

Each year, we offer a one-day regional symposium featuring three spotlight speakers and an array of breakout sessions addressing educational issues across all age levels. These events are held at schools or teacher education programs in different cities throughout the United States. Locations and dates may vary each year. Please visit our Events page for an overview of all our events and for event updates.

In mid-January of each year, we host a three-day Labposium for school leaders and aspiring leaders. The AMS Labposium (laboratory + symposium = Labposium) is an innovative and interactive event designed to foster collaboration, professional growth, and the exchange of ideas within the Montessori educational leadership community. Rooted in the principles of Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy, this unique gathering aims to bring together educators, administrators, and researchers to explore best practices, cutting-edge research, and the latest advancements in Montessori education. Visit our Labposium page for more information.

In March, we annually offer The Montessori Event (TME), a three-and-a-half-day extensive program featuring keynotes, breakout sessions, spotlight speakers, networking opportunities, exhibitors, and fun! This event travels to a different city each year and is also offered virtually. Visit our event page for The Montessori Event, or www.themontessorievent.org for more information.
