Registration and pricing

Join us at the largest lean conference in the world!

The 39th annual AME International Conference will take place in Cleveland, Ohio on October 30-November 2, 2023, at the Huntington Convention Center. Your registration grants you access to inspiring keynotes, knowledge sharing from industry practitioners through interactive sessions and presentations, best practice tours of local companies, networking with AME's global lean community, and so much more. This year, you can attend the conference in person or experience it on demand. 

Teams of 10 or more can enjoy significant perks by participating in AME's Accelerator Program — designed for large groups as well as their suppliers — all while benefiting from a positive team experience that accelerates your continuous improvement process.

ON DEMAND PACKAGES:
Interested in bundling in person and on demand registrations at a discounted rate? To discuss on demand package pricing, call us at 224-232-5980. Note that some of our sessions and tours may not be made available on demand after the conference at the request of the presenter and/or host company or if technical limitations arise. When possible, live-only content will be identified in advance of the conference so participants know what elements they will not have access to. AME is not responsible for changes to availability that are outside of its control due to technology, recording or other unforeseen issues.

WORKSHOPS:
AME will offer full- and half-day pre-conference workshops for those looking to maximize learning on select topics. There is an additional charge for workshops, and advance registration is required. Full-day workshops are $400 for members and non-members. Half-day workshops are $200 for members and non-members. Workshops are not available on demand.
