Simply select “Yes, I’d like an ambassador” when you register for the conference. An experienced conference veteran will be in touch prior to the conference and will make arrangements to connect on-site. If you’ve already registered and didn’t opt in, email atp@designingevents.com to add yourself to the program.

 

On-site Volunteer Committee

Sign up to be on the Volunteer Committee by serving as a greeter, session coordinator or other on-site helper. This is a great way to get involved and meet new people. It’s also very often a stepping-stone in being a part of other ATP committees...which leads to meeting even MORE amazing assessment professionals! Once again, you can sign up when you register, or email atp@designingevents.com for details.
