The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has added more special-rate hotels for the upcoming International Women & Motorcycling Conference. The conference, which takes place July 26-29 in Carson City, Nev., is the nation’s premier event for women riders, featuring inspirational speakers, great roads, demo rides, product showcases and unmatched camaraderie.

"We are thrilled with the response that we are getting from women riders around the country and beyond," said Tigra Tsujikawa, AMA marketing manager. "Although the host hotel, the Gold Dust West, has now sold out, there are many other hotels just as conveniently located that are offering our conference attendees special rates."   

Through April 30, AMA members can rack up significant savings through member-only pre-registration, which offers a discounted price of $125 to attend the conference. After April 30, that fee increases to $175.   Included in the registration fee to the AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference is entry to seminars, the marketplace and moto action center, the Saturday Women’s Health Fair, priority registration for manufacturer demo rides, the Friday night cook-out and Saturday night Closing Celebration banquet, as well as a conference t-shirt and gift bag.
