Hotel reservations this year are once again being handled directly through NACAA via a group rooming list that NACAA will provide to the hotels.  PLEASE DO NOT MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS DIRECT WITH HOTELS - AS YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE OUR GROUP RATES.  Active and Life members are expected to stay at one of the contracted hotels for a minimum of one night.  If you choose to stay off-site at a different hotel - the NACAA Facilities fee of $250 will be charged.  You will need to enter your lodging Reference Number in the AM/PIC registration process - so please make your Lodging reservation FIRST - before registering for the AM/PIC.

 

If you are travelling with a guest/spouse - they will NOT need to make a separate hotel reservation - and they will be able to select an option within the registration process to indicate they already have a room.  If you are an Active or Life Member and you are sharing a room -  you will need to indicate who you are rooming with.
