Single-Day Registration

AMATYC offers a single-day registration to accommodate local adjunct faculty and others unable to attend the entire conference. Those selecting this option must register for and choose only ONE of the following options: Thursday only or Friday only or Weekend (Saturday/Sunday) only. For single-day registration rates, see the registration form on page 15.

The Single-Day Registration includes admission to all 50-minute sessions, general sessions, committee meetings, and the exhibits for the specified day. Single-day registrants may select ONE workshop using the same guidelines as full conference registrants. Single-day registration does not include admission to the Friday Continental Breakfast or the Saturday Awards Breakfast. Single-day registrants may purchase special function tickets for that day at the guest ticket price.

Exhibitors who are not also registered as conference participants are invited to attend any 50-minute session, but will need to register as a conference participant if they wish to attend workshops and other conference events.

It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to enforce all local regulations when the exhibitor serves alcohol at any AMATYC event.

A workshop includes active attendee participation, an in-depth treatment of a skill, and significant handouts. Workshop participants must be present at the beginning of the workshop to retain their seat in the workshop.

AMATYC continues to offer workshops at no additional fee to persons who register as conference participants. To enable as many conference registrants as possible to participate, each registrant is strictly limited to two workshops. Seats will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis as completed registration forms are received by the AMATYC Office. Alternate workshops may be indicated on the registration form in case your first choice is closed. Registration is not complete until ALL fees associated with the registration have been received in the AMATYC Office. AMATYC makes no guarantee that any conference registrant will be scheduled into a workshop.

AMATYC is offering a special Symposium on Friday, November 3. Seating is limited and attendance at the symposium is by reservation.

The symposium may be selected IN ADDITION to workshops. Seats will be
reserved on a first-come, first-served basis as payment and completed registration forms are received by the AMATYC Office. Exhibitors will need to register as a conference participant if they wish to attend the symposium.

AMATYC is a professional organization for mathematics educators, and AMATYC events must serve these educators. AMATYC welcomes family members of its event attendees, as registered guests, at these events, and recognizes that these events may be a positive experience for them.

To ensure that AMATYC events meet attendee expectations that include a pleasant and productive professional development activity, attendees are responsible for their guests’ behavior.

In particular, guests who are minors must be accompanied by the responsible attendee parent or guardian at all times. Attendee parents and guardians should take appropriate steps to ensure that their child’s behavior does not disrupt other attendees, or infringe on their rights to the quality professional development activity they expect and for which they have paid.

Any guest should never prevent access to a session for a professional attendee —particularly, in a case of limited seating availability, materials availability, etc., professional attendees have priority. Children should not normally be in sessions. Exceptions might include when the child is related to the presenter and the child might benefit by being present.

Event officials are empowered and instructed to enforce these rules by taking all actions necessary to control disruptive or nuisance behavior.

Many hotels provide recommendations for in-room child care for guests. Call the hotel as early as possible for service. Arrangements represent a contractual agreement between the individual and the child-care provider. AMATYC assumes no responsibility for the services rendered.

AMATYC is committed to serving all conference attendees who have disabilities and adheres to the guidelines set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Attendees with disabilities requiring special accommodations should contact Beverly Vance before October 10, 2006, at 901.333.4643 or email at bvance@amatyc.org.
