Non-Approved Vendors
Some attendees have been receiving calls and emails from housing groups (such as Global Travel Partners or National Travel Associates) offering to make hotel reservations for our meeting. Please be aware these are NOT AMS approved or contracted vendors. We did not ask them to contact anyone on our behalf and did not give them a list of our attendees or exhibitors.

These groups are claiming to be able to get attendees rates at our AMS hotel blocked hotels for less than our special AMS rates. This is not true. We work hard here at AMS to get the lowest possible rate for the hotels in our room blocks. We do not require you to book rooms within our block, but it certainly helps us secure these special rates for future meetings.
