Conference Site Selection Process
The AMIA follows a conference site selection process approved by the Board of Directors on May 22, 2023, that includes the following steps:
- AMIA staff develops a preliminary list of meeting locations for each AMIA major conference, issues an RFP, and collates all responses in a comparison table with venue terms and estimated costs for presentation to AMIA leadership.
- The Board of Directors eliminates venue proposals that do not support conference needs or meet AMIA’s expectations, including the ability to accomplish programmatic goals within the meeting budget, the ability to attract attendance and participation, compatibility with guiding ethical principles (JAMIA, C.U. Lehmann et al, May 2022), and the ability to deliver a meeting experience that is safe and affordable for attendees.
- The Board of Directors prioritizes the factors to guide negotiations for the final site selection.
- AMIA staff negotiate with remaining candidate sites and select final site based on assigned priorities.
- The conference site selection is reported to AMIA Board of Directors.
Venue Selection Timeline
Venues for AMIA activities are currently confirmed prior to the event according to the following guideline:
- Annual Symposium: 4-5 years
- Informatics Summit and Clinical Informatics Summit: 1-3 years
- ACMI Symposium and CIBRC: 9-12 months
Timelines for selection of meetings sites are approximate guidance. The staff advise the Board of Directors if adjustments to the guidelines need to be changed based on market conditions.
