Click here for more information on AMS hotel block. You'll get the best rates when you book within the AMS's official hotel room block. In 2025, all hotels in the AMS official hotel block will be within walking distance of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
There are many ways to get around New Orleans, including public transit and transportation services such as rental cars, shuttles, taxis and app-based ride services.
We recommend starting the process of applying for a visa as soon as you decide to attend the meeting.
The AMS will provide a shuttle bus service between the New Orleans Convention Center and the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel. The shuttle will use the Julia St. entrance of the Convention Center.
Some attendees have been receiving calls and emails from housing groups 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.
All legitimate housing information will come by email (from an @ametsoc.org address) and the official AMS Social Media Accounts @ametsoc
