The 2010 conference, taking place June 28-30 in New York City, comes at a time of unprecedented need and momentum for service. As the economic downturn puts more Americans at risk, service is needed more than ever to meet our national challenges. The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act has set the stage for a new era of expansion, innovation and impact for the service movement. Come learn how to seize this momentum and engage citizens in solving problems and making lasting change in your communities.

The Allied Media Conference is the central project of the Allied Media Projects (AMP) network, which emerges out of ten years of organic relationship-building. Since the first conference (then the Midwest Zine Conference) in 1999, people have been compelled by the concept of do-it-yourself media. Later, as the Underground Publishing Conference, the emphasis was on building a movement of alternative media makers. With the shift towards Allied Media, the AMC has attracted more and more people who are interested in using participatory media as a strategy for social justice organizing.
