AALL strives to offer exceptional learning opportunities with knowledgeable and skilled presenters. Please note that if your program is accepted, AALL and the AMPC reserve the right to make adjustments to the program to ensure that the best program is delivered, from promotion to production. To facilitate this, a member of the AMPC will be assigned to each program, and will work closely with the coordinator and presenters.
