Members of the response team:
AMS wants to ensure that each attendee’s experience at the 105th Annual Meeting is a pleasant and productive one. More information about Accessibility, Health and Wellness, and Safety and Inclusivity at the Meeting can be found here.
By registering for and attending in-person at the American Meteorological Society's 105th Annual Meeting, I agree to abide by all health and safety guidelines and recommendations established by federal, state and local government agencies and officials, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the event venues, including but not limited to the meeting hotel. This includes, but is not limited to, adhering to any requirements and restrictions during the event established by AMS and hotel venues. These requirements and restrictions are subject to change and will be outlined in the 105th Annual Meeting’s Commitment to Care Policy.
I further agree that I will not attend the meeting in person if I become ill during the meeting or exhibit any symptoms of illness to the event. I understand that if I do not comply with the above, this action is considered a violation of the Code of Conduct at AMS Meetings and I may be asked to leave the event immediately and without refund of registration and abstract submission fees, be denied further access to the in person and/or virtual elements, may not be considered for service on AMS boards and committees, and may be subject to additional legal action.
Additionally, I understand that travel to and participation in events may increase the risk of exposure to illness and other communicable diseases.
Virtual attendees will not need to abide by these requirements and restrictions but are asked to agree here in the event that you take advantage of the opportunity to change your registration to in-person.
I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, AND DEMANDS OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE AGAINST THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY AND ITS AFFILIATED PARTNERS AND SPONSORS, INCLUDING IN EACH CASE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, AND AGENTS (THE “RELEASED PARTIES”), EITHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES OR LOSSES CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR CONDUCT OF ANY KIND ON THE PART OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH, BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, ECONOMIC LOSS OR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, WHICH I, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNEES, NEXT OF KIN AND/OR LEGALLY APPOINTED OR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES, MAY HAVE OR WHICH MAY HEREINAFTER ACCRUE ON MY BEHALF, WHICH ARISE OR MAY
HEREAFTER ARISE FROM MY PARTICIPATION WITH THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY'S 105TH ANNUAL MEETING. THIS POLICY ALSO APPLIES TO ANY GUESTS AND CARETAKES THAT I AFFILIATE WITH MY REGISTRATION.
By completing my registration, I agree that I have read and confirm that I will abide by the Professional and Respectful Conduct at AMS Meetings Policy. I understand that if I violate this policy, I may be asked to leave the event immediately and without refund, be denied further access to the virtual elements, may not be considered for service on AMS boards and committees, and may be subject to additional legal action.
From time-to-time AMS uses photographs of conference events in its promotional materials. Unless this permission is revoked in writing to AMS, by virtue of their attendance all conference visitors agree to the use of their likeness in such materials.
The abstract submission fee of $120 per submission (payable by credit card) is due at the time of abstract submission. It is refundable only if your abstract is not accepted and will not be refunded in the event of withdrawal. Abstracts whose fees are not paid within two weeks of the abstract submission deadline will not be presented—they will be deleted from both the conference agenda and online program.
Your fee includes your abstract, supplementary materials (optional), and your recorded oral presentation (recorded at the session level) posted to the online program which is available to all conference attendees exclusively for three (3) months before being made available to the Community for free.
Withdrawn papers will still be accessible on the conference online program and authors will still be able to upload supplementary materials such as extended abstracts, PDFs of presentations and/or poster images as well as links to other websites. Abstracts should be withdrawn if the presenting author is unable to present or identify a replacement presenting author. Abstracts can be withdrawn using Presenter’s Corner.
In an attempt to expand the audience for presentations and to provide a more complete and permanent record of the authors’ remarks, presentation recordings will be made available in the online program and mobile app (48 hours after your session ends). Copyright of recorded presentations remains with the author(s). Permission to use figures, tables, and brief excerpts from presentations is granted provided that the source is acknowledged. Any use of material in presentations that is determined to be "fair use" under § 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act or that satisfies the conditions specified in § 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act (17 USC § 108, as revised by P.L. 94-553) does not require the permission. Republication, systematic reproduction, password sharing, posting in the electronic form on other servers, or other uses of this material, excepted by the above statement, requires written permission or a license from the author(s).

All meetings of AMS committees, boards, and the Council are, in principle, open to members of the Society, although portions of some meetings may be held in executive session when dealing with personnel issues, awards, or other matters of confidential nature. As a matter of courtesy and to ensure adequately sized meeting rooms, members wishing to observe a particular committee, board, or Council meeting should contact its chairperson in advance. Members may request a place on the agenda by following a similar procedure. Please feel free to contact AMS Headquarters for assistance.
