The VAM staff and the board of directors are excited to introduce a unique conference format for 2019. After decades of a traditional conference structure, VAM's 2019 Annual Conference will take a "citywide" approach as we travel to Lynchburg, Virginia. The conference has all of the educational elements you are used to, and will include tons of chances to network with your colleagues and our business members. By highlighting and making use of a variety of sites in the downtown area of this infinitely walkable city, conference guests will get to experience sessions, tours, and evening events at such historic sites as the newly restored Academy Center of the Arts and Virginian Hotel, as well as Amazement Square, Lynchburg Museums, and more! You don’t want to miss it!

Lynchburg is the perfect backdrop for discovering fascinating history, enjoying shopping and dining, sampling world-class wines in breathtaking settings, unplugging on the water, or simply gathering with friends and family.
