70th Annual Employee Benefits Conference
Hotel Options
We work diligently to ensure there are a variety of hotel options available that meet your personal needs and budgetary requirements. Only those hotels that meet our strict standards for quality and value are utilized, and the high volume of hotel rooms used allows us to provide the lowest rate available. To ensure you continue to receive the best rates available, please make your hotel reservation through the International Foundation. Hotel reservations are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. Best available will be assigned. If you don't receive your preferred hotel, contact [email protected] to be waitlisted.
Wishing to prepay your stay? Please contact the International Foundation's registration team at [email protected] or (888) 334-3327, option 2 for details. All requests need to be submitted to the hotel 14 days prior to arrival for the hotel to honor your request.
Hotel Solicitations: Please be aware, companies (outside of the Foundation) implying that certain hotels have been sold out or that they can provide better rates during our conference ARE NOT endorsed by the Foundation, ARE NOT working on behalf of the Foundation and ARE considered scams. Any reservations made through these organizations are not legitimate. The International Foundation is the ONLY organization that would potentially contact you regarding your hotel reservations. Hotel choices and rates are published on our website below and in other Foundation materials.
