Register for the Conference Hotel
ATA’s 67th annual conference is October 28–31 in San Francisco, California. Our conference is the year’s biggest and best opportunity to network with colleagues and clients. Don’t miss it!
Registration for the conference is now open, and you can also register for the conference hotel, the Hyatt Regency at 5 Embarcadero Center. Full details and a link to the hotel’s website can be found here. The ATA block is limited, so it’s best to reserve your room now. You won’t have to pay for it until you arrive, and if your plans change you can cancel with three days’ notice and pay nothing.
Restaurants
The S&TD Leadership Council has some good ideas for restaurants to visit and is considering an official lunch or dinner, but we would welcome additional suggestions. Please contact Patrick Weill with your ideas.
Call for Division Webmaster
The S&TD’s webmaster, Carola Berger, has served long and well and would like to resign, so we need a new volunteer with some technical expertise. Carola will be happy to introduce you to our interface and tell you what you need to know. To get more information on what is involved, please contact her.

Call for Distinguished Speaker Nominees
The S&TD is entitled to invite a Distinguished Speaker to our 2028 conference (ATA68) in Las Vegas. Application deadlines are early next year (right after the winter holidays), so we need to have our ducks in a row when the time comes. If you can recommend a candidate, please contact S&TD Administrator Sarah Baiz or S&TD Assistant Administrator Paul B. Gallagher; the Leadership Council will consider all suggestions before filing our application in January.
Criteria (from the ATA Division Handbook, section 4.5.1):
Distinguished Speakers should be recognized experts in their field whose presentations benefit the professional development of a large segment of Division members. Distinguished Speakers must be non-ATA members who have not regularly presented at previous Annual Conferences, and proposals should be exceptional. The overarching goal of the Distinguished Speaker program is to bring in high-level speakers that Division members would not otherwise have the opportunity to meet or learn from.
