There are a few airport options for reaching the Anaheim Marriott, depending on flight availability and how far you're willing to drive. Details for each are below.
John Wayne Airport – Orange County (SNA)
The closest and most convenient option for most attendees.
Long Beach Airport (LGB)
A small, easy-to-navigate airport with a drive time similar to SNA.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
The most flight options and nonstop routes, but farther from Anaheim with less predictable traffic.
Ontario International Airport (ONT)
A solid alternative depending on your departure city, with drive times comparable to LAX.
For those within the Amtrak/Metrolink network
If you're traveling from within Southern California and prefer not to fly, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) is Anaheim's train and bus hub, served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink commuter rail. ARTIC is just a short (about 10-minute) drive or shuttle ride from the Anaheim Marriott and convention area.
This option works well if you're already near an Amtrak or Metrolink station (e.g. in the Los Angeles, San Diego, or greater Southern California region) and would rather take the train in rather than drive or fly. From ARTIC, a rideshare, taxi, or local shuttle will get you the rest of the way to the hotel.
Your support in staying at the UPCEA contracted hotel helps keep the conference costs down, which directly affects your registration fees. UPCEA contracts for the best possible room rates for its events and is required to guarantee a predetermined number of sleeping rooms. If the association does not meet the contracted room block, the hotel can charge an attrition fee, which will result in higher registration fees at future conferences. Therefore, we encourage you to book your room through our block at the conference hotel.
All reservations made after the blocks are filled and/or after the deadline will be available at the hotel’s prevailing rate and availability is not guaranteed.
Beware of Room Block Poachers: This is the practice of companies posing as an agent or representative of an association offering hotel reservation services. They may offer a hotel room at a lower cost, and have an official sounding name such as "Royal Visit", “Exhibition Housing Management” or "Xpo Planners". “Poachers” will immediately charge your credit card, sometimes with a “service fee,” and in many cases will not make a reservation. Be advised that this is NOT an official service, nor is it sanctioned by UPCEA. No attendee should be contacted about hotel reservations except by someone from UPCEA. If someone outside of UPCEA contacts you, we urge you to ignore them and report them immediately to UPCEA.
