Please join us for our next Partner Showcase featuring CiMS.
Wednesday, March 31st | 9AM PT / 12PM ET
Managing estimates, expenses, and final invoices across multiple projects can quickly become complex for agencies and production companies. In our upcoming partner showcase, CiMS will introduce a platform designed for you that brings estimating and billing into one streamlined system.
Topics will include:
- Tracking project budgets and expenses
- Managing artist fees, expenses, and commissions
- Creating estimates, advanced and final invoices
- Built-in CRM tools for client and contact management
- Integration with accounting platforms
Join us to learn how tools like CiMS can help simplify the operational side of running a creative business.
This year, we’ll be hosting more Partner Showcases. These are meant to give members a simple, low‑pressure way to meet the partners who support our work, learn what they do, and ask practical questions in real time. Think of them as short, conversational spotlights, focused on helpful context, timely insights, and resources you can actually use.
This event is exclusive to AMA members, so please ensure you're logged into your AMA account to register.
Register at the link below and we look forward to seeing you there!
Please note this event will take place at 12 PM ET rather than our usual 2 PM ET programming time.
