There are 75 professional chapters and 250 collegiate chapters across North America. AMA promotes continuing education, personal and professional development, and the advancement of the science and ethical practice of marketing. For over six decades the AMA has been an essential resource providing relevant marketing information that experienced marketers turn to everyday.

The AMA website, MarketingPower.com, offers a wide array of newly expanded information including research, case studies and best practices in marketing. AMA's prestigious marketing journals provide access to the newest developments in marketing thought, while AMA magazines have practical applications of marketing strategies to address marketers' daily needs on the job. AMA offers specialty conferences, one-day hot topic seminars, bootcamps, workshops, and free web seminars to help marketers build the skills that keep them ahead of emerging trends, and support long-term professional development.
