When we reach a predetermined limit for a particular event we will
close registration, even if our RSVP date and time has not yet
occurred. Throughout the year we may experience higher than usual
demand to attend an AMA-Richmond event or luncheon. We are proud of
our programs and they are just too good to miss so we offer a
Wait List for people who register after a registration deadline
has passed. Being placed on the Wait List does NOT guarantee you a
seat but simply a seating option should something open up. If you
get placed on our Wait List someone on our registration team will be
in contact with you. We ask that all
registrants arrive and check-in no later than 5 minutes prior to the
beginning of an event or luncheon. If you are attending a luncheon,
you should check-in no later than 11:55 am. Any open seats at this
time may be relinquished to those on our Wait List on a first come,
first serve basis.
If you are on our Wait List for an event, please arrive early and
let the registration desk know you are on the Wait List for that
event. We will do everything we can to accommodate you. Thank you
for your patience and understanding.
