In order to preserve the conference networking experience in a new digital format, 2020 AMMC Virtual launched its own Discord server. Discord is a chat service that allows AMMC attendees to network, meet, and discuss topics. Click here to learn more about Discord.
We will keep the server going as long as there is active participation. We hope you continue the conversations started during the conference. You can discuss panels and talks, find people interested in the topics important to you, get technical help and information, and talk to fellow professionals from all over the country.
