The Allied Media Conference offers hands-on trainings and strategy sessions in a wide-range of media practices.
Through the AMC, held every summer in Detroit, we unite the worlds of media, art, technology, education and social justice. Participants build knowledge and relationships that continue to grow throughout the year.
The 14th annual Allied Media Conference is June 28 - July 1, 2012 in Detroit. Register today.

Next month we will welcome thousands of people working to build a more just, creative and collaborative world to the 14th annual Allied Media Conference, June 28 - July 1 in Detroit, Michigan. Conference organizers have been hard at work making this year's AMC the best ever, implementing new features in response to feedback following the last AMC.
"I want to learn to create, to be visionary, to think differently, to collaborate, to tell stories and to listen really, really well."
Over the past 13 years, the Allied Media Conference has grown and transformed significantly. We describe our work as conference organizers through the metaphor of earthworms cultivating healthy soil. We identify the right balance of nutrients (workshops, strategy sessions, dance parties, etc.) out of which annual cycles of media-based organizing can grow and flourish.
Next week, 34 coordinators of the AMC2012 tracks, network gatherings and practice spaces will meet up in Detroit for three days of intensive planning.
