? 10 years of the Americas Committee for Treatment & Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) Forum—what a milestone! ? Last month in West Palm Beach, AMPED's ACTRIMS team delivered an incredible event with 1,926 attendees from 62 countries, record-setting workshops, and our largest-ever Resident Summit. With 35 speaker presentations, 445 posters, 5 Satellite Symposia, and 19 sponsoring organizations (a new record!), the week was a huge success. A huge shoutout to the team for their dedication and hard work in making this anniversary Forum unforgettable. Here’s to another decade of innovation in MS research! ???? #ACTRIMS #ACTRIMSForum #10YearAnniversary #Teamwork #EventManagement #Associations #AssociationManagement #AMC #AMPEDUp #AMPEDLife

We’re excited to have Alex Connelly on board as our new Marketing Manager! ?? He’ll be working closely with three of our healthcare clients in the physical therapy space, while also contributing to AMPED’s overall marketing team and strategy. One of his biggest pet peeves? Inefficiency! ??♂? With his passion for streamlining processes and delivering high-impact results, we know Alex will help optimize our workflows and elevate the strategies we implement for both our clients and internal initiatives. #TeamAMPED #AMPEDLife #NewBeginnings #AMC #AssociationManagement #AssociationManagementCompany

Our team successfully executed the American Wire Producers Association Annual Meeting a few weeks ago in sunny Arizona! ?? ? Perfect weather ? Hosted AWPA's first-ever pickleball tournament ? Supported what we believe was their *first-ever* strategic planning session! Great teamwork, great outcomes, and a fantastic experience all around?? #AWPA #WireProducers #EventManagement #Associations #AssociationManagement #AMC #AMPEDLife #AMPEDUp

Happy Pi Day! ?? Growing up, Pi Day was always a fun challenge - My dad, Mike Wicker, would quiz us to see how many digits of π we could recite (I won’t say how many I still remember...). But beyond the math, it was also about pie - because we lived so close to Hubbard Avenue Diner (aka the Pie House in my childhood), it was always a special treat to walk down for a slice. So earlier this week, a few of us from the AMPED Association Management WI office took advantage of the day with a walk over to Hubbard for some well-earned Pi(e). A little math, a little nostalgia, and a lot of delicious pie - what better way to celebrate? Now, the real question: How many digits of π can you list from memory? #AMPEDLife

Last month, our team had the pleasure of supporting Women in Government Relations' 10th Annual Governors Reception, a milestone event celebrating a decade of building impactful connections. A special shoutout to Shelby Knight for leading the task force and absolutely rocking it! ?? Welcome to Crystal Moore, CAE—this was her first signature event with WGR! The whole team brought great energy to kick off a year of celebrations as WGR turns 50 ?? #WGR #WGRGovernorsReception #EventManagement #Associations #AssociationManagement #AMC #AMPEDLife #AMPEDUp

What happens in Vegas... turns into a successful conference! ?? Last month, our team produced the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association Winter Conference at Circa in Las Vegas. Here are some standout moments: ? Attendance increased by more than 10% from 2024 ? Received glowing reviews from both the board and attendees ? First conference for several of our team members — and they absolutely crushed it! Taking a chance on a new venue off The Strip proved to be a winning move. Cheers to the team for making it happen! ?? #FSGA #FSGAWinterConference2025 #AnnualConference #Associations #AssociationManagement #AMC #AMPEDLife #AMPEDUp

At AMPED, we are proud to celebrate the incredible women who make our team strong, dynamic, and innovative. On this International Women’s Day, we honor the talent, leadership, and passion that these women bring to the table every day. ?? #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #IWD2025 #AMPEDWomen #AMPEDLife

Happy 1-Year AMPEDiversary to Taylor St. John! ?? Over the past year, Taylor has been an absolute rockstar as a Program and Meetings Coordinator. Coming to us from APTA Pediatrics, she hit the ground running and seamlessly helped their association integrate into AMPED. Her organizational skills, attention to detail, and positive energy have made a huge impact. Taylor recently went above and beyond to help plan ALI Fest during APTA CSM, bringing her creativity and flair to the event—complete with smoking nitro Cheetos! ??? #AMPEDLife #AMPEDUp #AMPEDiversary #WorkAnniversary #AMC #AssociationMangementCompany #AssociationManagement

Last month, our team had an incredible experience at the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Combined Sections Meeting in Houston, TX! With over 14,500 attendees, CSM was a whirlwind of education, networking, and connection. We were proud to support the expo presence and programming for our four APTA clients. We also lead a combined board orientation, fostering collaboration and leadership development. The energy and engagement at CSM were truly inspiring, and we loved every moment of learning, socializing, and contributing to the physical therapy community. #APTA #APTACSM #ChoosePT #PhysicalTherapy #Associations #AssociationManagement #AMC #AMPEDLife #AMPEDUp
