Hotel and Travel
| AOTA's Conference hotels are filling up! San Diego sleeping rooms are selling quickly and we encourage you to make your Annual Conference room reservations without delay. AOTA is working to add new hotel properties as well as increase the number of available sleeping rooms at each already contracted Conference hotel. In some instances rooms added may incur an unavoidable rate increase. Take advantage of today's room rates while the supply lasts. Reserve Your Housing Now! |

 AOTA has approved ConferenceDirect Housing, functioning as AOTA Housing, to coordinate all hotel reservation requests. ConferenceDirect Housing is the only official housing bureau for the AOTA 93rd Annual Conference & Expo. If you are contacted by a housing pirating company or any other group other than ConferenceDirect Housing/AOTA Housing, recognize that they are not endorsed by AOTA and, despite their claims, they do not have access to our negotiated discounted rates. For accurate information regarding reservations or availability, contact ConferenceDirect Housing directly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact AOTA at conference@aota.org.

Housing Deadline has been extended to Friday, April 5!
Be sure to reserve your sleeping room from one of the seven official conference hotels noted below. Reserving a room in the AOTA room block is an important way to support the Association and ultimately keep overall meeting costs as low as possible. Staying "within the block" is also more convenient and helps you stay connected with the informal activities and networking opportunities that occur at the headquarter hotel during the meeting.
