Registration is CLOSED. The registration deadline was Friday, October 20, 2023, but due to overwhelming interest, we sold out of AMR Conference Registrations and Exhibit spots early on September 11, 2023. There are a limited amount of AMR Field Tour seats left.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In-person “walk-in” registrations will not be honored after the registration deadline due to policies at the venue. Refunds may not be honored after the deadline. Bottom line, please register and pay before the deadline so we can plan accordingly and not have to chase anyone down. These measures help keep costs affordable for all.
Please read all instructions carefully: This year’s registration is “a la carte” style like years past. Click on the links below to help you register to attend the conference, exhibit, and/or register for pre-conference activities. You will be taken to the “EPCAMR Online Store” to add registration items from this page. Once you have selected an item you may return to this page to add additional items to your online shopping cart or continue adding items in the store under the “Registrations” category. The items in the store are also marked as “Featured Items.” Tip: Please do not use your browser’s “Back” button in the store, as it can delete the order you are building. Once you are done, go through the checkout to view your items and finish the registration process. Securely pay with a credit or debit card using our online payment gateway, PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to use a card and can simply choose the “pay with debit or credit card” option. Our new online store also accepts check/money order payments, but if you prefer to use snail mail and printed registration, contact Michael Hewitt at mhewitt@epcamr.org or (570) 371-3522 for details.

Continuing Education Credits
Professional development hours (PDH) will be offered and certificates will be presented following the conference by the PA AMR Conference Planning Committee specifically for professional geologists, engineers, and surveyors. Attendees that wish to participate should notify Anne Daymut ahead of time so we know to track your hours. Credit hours will be assessed upon the time spent in sessions, which will be verified by session feedback responses.
