Housing Information

Support ACS by booking your room through Travel Planners at one of the official Clinical Congress hotels!

To obtain the necessary amount of meeting and exhibit space at the convention center and the hotels, ACS must commit to a minimum number of guest rooms. If that commitment is not met, ACS will incur significant financial penalties and have difficulty obtaining sufficient meeting space in the future. This can have a major impact on the programs that ACS is able to offer. You can help ACS avoid penalties by booking your reservation through the official housing company.
