Reservations made after the block is filled and/or after the deadline will be available at the hotel’s prevailing rate and availability is not guaranteed.

Deposits are refundable as long as cancellation notice is received at least 72 hours prior to arrival.
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 by clicking here or calling 1-800-556-7827 and identify yourself as a UPCEA Central Conference attendee.
