AMS EVENT SCHEDULING POLICY
It is the policy of the Ag Media Summit (AMS) Steering Committee to encourage those registered for the Summit to attend scheduled program workshops, seminars and meetings. The AMS Steering Committee understands that occasionally companies wish to invite selected media representatives to events (e.g., media conferences, one-on-one interviews, receptions) while at AMS that are not official AMS functions. Any company wishing to hold an event or reserve a meeting room in the headquarters hotel during an official AMS function is asked to bring the request to the AMS Steering Committee Chair or AMS Staff not less than 30 days prior to the start of AMS. Please provide the request by email to Diane Johnson (dianej@flash.net) or Den Gardner (aaea@gardnerandgardnercommunications.com).
A decision will be made by the AMS Steering Committee within one week of receiving each written request. The AMS Steering Committee thanks you in advance for adhering to this policy.

AMS INFOEXPO POLICY
The InfoExpo hours are intended for members of media attending the event to meet with AMS sponsors and InfoExpo exhibitors on the trade show floor. Companies are discouraged from arranging media interviews outside of the trade show floor during the official hours for InfoExpo. AMS Steering Committee and Staff asks that companies respect this time period and suggest other media interviews be conducted during other hours at AMS that do not conflict with official functions, which includes workshops and seminars.
