Accommodation

We strongly recommend booking your accommodation through the AAA-CASCA block booking system. Why? Find out here.

The hotel room block is now open. In order to make your housing reservation, you must first be registered to attend the meeting through either CASCA or the AAA. To secure your housing accommodations follow the easy steps below.

1. Confirm you have already registered for the Annual Meeting (through either CASCA or AAA). If you are newly registering through CASCA, allow one business day for us to upload your info to the joint registration database.
2. Visit the housing portal here and log in with the same email address you used to register.
3. Make your hotel selection and follow the prompts to complete your registration. You will receive a confirmation email once your reservation has been made.

The hotel reservation deadline is Tuesday, October 29, 2019 and you must use the AAA housing portal to obtain discounted rates, as contacting hotels directly will not provide access to our discounted rates.
