The ATMC 2019 Annual Conference will be held in Grapevine, Texas (Dallas) at the Hilton DFW Lakes Conference Center from April 9 to April 11, 2019. You must be a member to attend, but there are no additional conference fees required. Join us for a unique learning and networking opportunity as training managers and developers from both the OEMs and aftermarket come together to use their collective knowledge to solve shared problems and look into the future of training.
The conference center is a 4 star property situated on 40 acres just 2.5 miles from DFW Airport. They offer complimentary shuttle service to/from the airport. A special room rate of $189.00 is available to those who make their reservations with the hotel by March 19, 2019.
