Accommodations

All new reservations, changes and cancellations will be  based on availability until 5:00 p.m. September 23 but only after you have registered and paid for MBA's 95th Annual Convention & Expo through MBA. Once your registration has been processed by MBA (approximately three to five business days after receipt), you will receive a registration confirmation letter with information on how to make your hotel reservations.

The hotel discount rate cutoff date of September 23 does not ensure availability of rooms; if rooms are available until the cutoff date, you will receive the discounted rate.  After the cutoff date, reservations are taken on a space-available basis only, and you are charged the regular hotel rate.  Each paid registrant may reserve only one room or suite.  An attendee cannot reserve multiple rooms.

The official MBA housing bureau will accept new reservations, changes and cancellations based on availability until 5:00 p.m., EST, September 23, but only after you have registered and paid for MBA's 95th Annual Convention & Expo through MBA. Please do not call the hotel directly to make your hotel reservations.

Once you have registered, you may make your hotel reservations using the online housing system.

Changes and Cancellations
A credit card is required to guarantee a reservation. All reservations, changes and cancellations must be made through Experient by September 23 at 5:00 p.m. and are based on availability. After September 23, the hotel will charge one night's room and tax for a deposit.

One night's room and tax will be forfeited entirely if the cancellation of your hotel room is not made at least three (3) days prior to your hotel arrival date.  Penalties for early departure are enforced and vary by hotel.  DON'T BE A NO SHOW.  Cancel your reservation if you cannot attend.

Note: Rates do not include tax, which currently is 14.08 percent (subject to change).
