2008 AMTP Conference
Comments About the Conference

"Of all the professional conferences that I have attended, the AMTP conference is by far my favorite. In times of tightening budgets, one has to more carefully select how to spend their limited resources; the AMTP conference tops my list of where to send my manuscripts and how to spend my professional development funds. I realized how special it was at my first meeting five years ago: the participants are the most collegial of any I've ever met at a conference, the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, while at the same time I am learning and growing in my profession, and the the scheduling is superb. Lastly, the locations are always the best, regarding both the weather and the lower cost of traveling to the conference location. My husband has attended the conference with me twice and as a professor he wishes his professional organizations would offer conferences similar to AMTP's. I have purposefully allowed my membership to expire in numerous professional organizations, but will always remain active in AMTP; this conference is one of the reasons why AMTP is such a special professional organization. Hats off and kudos to Rick Mathisen and Jim Randall for all of their hard work every year!"

"AMTP is the most professional conference that I have ever attended. Every detail of this conference reminds me of the phenomenal sales meetings that I participated in during my 20 year tenure in the high tech industry. The collegial discussions that take place have enabled participants to take papers to the next level of theory and professional application."

"As a newcomer to the AMTP Conference, I was impressed by the collegial spirit of the entire conference. The spontaneous sharing of ideas took place every moment people were together – from formal presentations to a friendly round of golf. The conference reminded me of the very good relationship building skills I saw during my previous career in corporate banking that was filled with productive meetings, lunches, and golf outings. I look forward to attending another conference."
