Why Should I Book a Room at the Conference Headquarters Hotel?

When booking your hotel for NAES conferences, you’ll find a variety of choices in the cities where we host events. However, please consider the following reasons why it’s important to stay at the official conference headquarters hotel:

  • Community and Networking: Staying at the headquarters hotel maximizes opportunities for connection. Beyond formal sessions, you’ll enjoy additional time with colleagues—whether in the lobby, at meals, or in evening gatherings—enhancing the overall conference experience.
  • Supporting NAES: Booking at the headquarters hotel has a significant impact on the Association. NAES secures a block of rooms and guarantees a certain number will be used in order to obtain numerous concessions and benefits. Otherwise, these costs would be added to registration fees and passed on to attendees.
  • Fulfilling Commitments: NAES signs contracts with hotels, often years in advance. These agreements include guarantees for rooms, meeting space, and food and beverage. If NAES falls short of its commitments, we are financially responsible for the difference, which can mean higher rates at future conferences.
  • Best Rates and Convenience: NAES negotiates the best available rates for conference dates and provides a simple booking process for attendees. Staying at the headquarters hotel ensures you get both value and convenience.
  • Quality Assurance: The headquarters property is fully vetted by NAES to meet our standards for hosting events. Discount sites often sell unsold rooms in less desirable locations within hotels (such as near the ice machine, gym, or elevator).
