How do I register for the benefit?

You can purchase your ticket or table package with logo recognition as part of your registration for the ATS 2024 International Conference. You can even use a different credit card if you'd like. Decide to come at the last minute? Our staff onsite will be able to help.

What should I expect?

ATS members consider the ATS their professional home! Benefit guests consider the event to be a great opportunity to interact with leaders in the field. There is an open bar and buffet dinner.

Where do I pick up my ticket?

Your ATS 2024 conference badge will have a symbol on it that will identify you as a guest and ensures faster check-in. Otherwise, our event staff can confirm your name on the guest list.

Is there a dress code?

There is no required dress code, most attendees are in business attire.
