The AMC began as the Midwest Zine Conference in 1999 and is now in its 20th year, with over 2,000 participants and growing. The zine was first introduced in 2013 to tell the unique story of the conference’s participatory organizing process.
The 2017 edition of the zine, designed by The Work Department, showcases how the AMC is organized through “tracks, practice spaces, and network gatherings” and includes practical tips, best practices, informative diagrams on the conference organizing cycle, and a new "mini-guide to grassroots fundraising."
