Native French speakers (including me) mix them up regularly. But to answer correctly, I looked it up in my French dictionary, to see the difference:
Amener: to bring an inanimate object to someone, or to bring a person someplace, but suggesting you leave them there, i.e "Amener les enfants à l'école (dropping the kids at school)
Emmener: To take something with you from a point A to a point B, to take with you when you leave.
Hope that helped!

Even for the French native that I am, it's a tough one, but I'd say:
-amener: to drive to... (in all the respects: drive somebody to) like "I brought/dropped her to the party".
-emmener: to bring along with.....

amener = approach notion
emmener = distance notion
EX : i go with you to the hospital = je t'emmène à l'hopital
