AMO Events – How to Register Online

In order to register for an online event, you must have a user name and password. A general use login has been created for each municipality and was distributed to the clerk and/or administrator in March 2006. General use logins were also created for other AMO member organizations and distributed to a designated contact. Any individual who works for the municipality/organization can use this login. If you cannot obtain this information from your clerk or administrator, or designated contact, please contact AMO Events 416-971-9856 ext. 330, email: events@amo.on.ca

Alternatively, you can go through the ‘Sign Up’ process (see instructions below) to create your own record and user name/password.

Note: If you are a Municom subscriber you can use your existing user name and password for online registration.

Getting Started

You can login from any page of the AMO website by using the AMO Member Login/Logout option in the upper right corner. Or, upon choosing to register for an event from within the Events section, you will be prompted to log in. Once logged in, you are ready to register for an event.

If you choose the Register Online for Upcoming Events option on the Events home page you will see a list of all upcoming events. Simply click on the event you wish to register for, and the first registration page will be displayed.

Once the first registration page is displayed, you may proceed with the registration process if you are already logged in. If you are not logged in, follow the instructions at the top of the page and use the Log in link to do so. Again, once logged in, you may proceed with registration (see next section).

If you have forgotten your login information, please do not use the sign up link; instead contact our office.

If you know your login user name but have forgotten your password, click the (Forgot your Password?) link, fill in your email address and you will be emailed a link to use to reset your password. After doing so, you can immediately login and begin the registration process (see next section).

If you do not have a login, use the Sign up link to set yourself up. You will be required to fill in your municipality/organization, name, phone, fax, email and address and to create a user name and password.

Please note that you can use your municipality or organization general use login information to register anyone that is currently in our database, which you will see by clicking the drop down list under ‘Member’ on the left side of the registration page.

The Registration Process

Step #1: Making your Event Selections

The first registration page displays some general information about the event, i.e. title, status, date(s), etc. There is also a list of "Functions" which are the available selections for the particular event. For example, an energy workshop or Councillor training session includes functions for each location, whereas a conference includes functions for the registration options (full day, one day, etc.), the companion program choices, etc.

The system knows if you are a member or not, so upon making your selection(s) it will apply the appropriate pricing. Once you have made your selections, click the ‘Submit’ button at the bottom of the page (you may need to scroll down).

Step #2: Confirming your Event Selections

The second registration page lets you confirm your selections, and:

• if you need to remove a selection, click the ‘remove’ button to the right of the selection

• if you have more than one selection to remove, repeat the step above

• if you want to remove all selections, and start again, click the ‘remove all’ button

• if you selections are correct, click the ‘submit’ button at the bottom of the page

• if you need to change the quantity, where applicable, eg. conference banquet tickets, highlight the current quantity, change it, then click the ‘update qty’ button (green) above the selections area; this will recalculate the charges

Step #3: Making a Payment

The third registration page is called ‘Check-Out Basket’ and at this point you are ready to enter payment information. If however, you still need to make changes, click the ‘Edit’ button to go back.

• If you are paying by credit card, within the Credit Card Information area:

• If you are not paying by credit card, scroll down until you see the Invoicing Information area:

• If you are registering for a conference and have opted for the companion package, please enter your companion’s name in the Companion Information area

Upon completion of the registration process, a confirmation notice will be emailed to you. Please review it carefully and if there are any changes, contact our office.

We hope you find the online registration process convenient, intuitive and efficient and we welcome your comments anytime!
