ATN invites schools and other institutions to reach out to us regarding purchase orders (POs).
Due to our budget needs, pre-paid purchase orders are mandatory this year. The av and hotel costs do not wait until after the event. POs are not cash, nor are they considered payment.
If your institution cannot prepay on a purchase order (have full payment made, with cash/check/card) prior to the Conference, please contact us and let us know that. We can then determine whether we can accept your purchase order.
If any portion of the Conference fills to capacity, preference will be given to fully paid Purchase Orders over post-event payments.
UPDATE YOUR VENDOR RECORDS- ATN has a new address for remittances. School systems that have been involved with us since the beginning might still have our old information in their records. We cannot be responsible for payments sent to any address other than the one below. We will only receive payments sent to this address.
Payment address:
Attachment & Trauma Network, Inc.
ATTN: S. Garde
PO Box 220
Westminster, MA 01473
We will provide an INVOICE for you if needed. Contact [email protected] with the following information:
- Name of Person attending
- Email of Person attending
- Name and billing address of institution issuing the PO
- Contact person name and email address
The Hilton Anatole does not accept purchase orders for payment but will work with institutions in the following manner:
Ashley [email protected] in accounting will work on the invoices. We cannot accept purchase orders. What typically happens with school groups is that the purchase order is created and submitted to the school along with the invoice from the hotel and then a check is cut by the school and sent to the hotel for payment prior to arrival. Generally at least 2 weeks in advance so that there are no issues before arrival. The process for the creation of the check is as follows:
Pay to the Hilton Anatole Hotel-Make sure that the conference name and dates are referenced in the memo section of the check for clarity of posting

The ATN Board of Directors looks for guidance from local, state, and federal authorities on all pandemic or other community health related protocols. If needed, ATN will issue/update a policy. At this time, there are no specific vaccination or masking requirements for TSS2024. 2022 and 2023’s In-Person conference showed how cooperation, flexibility, and respect can lead to a safe atmosphere. ATN cannot guarantee any set policy at this time so please plan accordingly and be prepared for possible procedure announcements.
We encourage all attendees to practice social distancing and good health hygiene during the event, as well as to not attend if they are feeling ill or have tested positive. Common sense and courtesy go a long way.
We also encourage all registered attendees to watch for additional information about the event and community health protocols as the conference gets closer.
