Be Sure to Book Your Room

We highly encourage you to book your hotel room within the CERF room block and take advantage of our special discounts, great amenities, and convenient access to the convention center. Staying within the CERF Room Block helps to support the continued success of the Biennial Conference.

Booking at one of the conference hotels within the room block supports CERF and:

• CERF’s convention center rental, AV, and food expense is significantly offset due to hotel rebates provided for every night that you stay in our block
• If we don’t fill a certain number of hotel rooms, CERF must pay penalties to cover the cost of unused rooms
• If CERF is unable to meet hotel obligations, we won’t have access to large venues in the future. Venues hold dates for larger groups that add more to their city’s economy
• Anticipated sleeping room pickup is CERF’s strongest tool when negotiating room rates and meeting space for future conferences
• You can rely on the CERF’s “seal of approval;” CERF hotels have been inspected by CERF staff for quality and safety
• Networking is easier and enjoyable because CERF-contracted hotels host a large number of CERF participants
• Gives you peace of mind that you have a reservation at an “official” CERF hotel at a discounted rate and protection in the event the hotel has oversold guest rooms

Beware of scams. CERF 2025 reservations should only be made following the instructions listed on the event website. Do not provide your personal or credit card information to any parties that solicit hotel reservations via phone, e-mail, or fax. CERF does not employ any third-party services to coordinate hotel reservations. Beware of telephone/e-mail/fax scams offering “special” hotel rates on behalf of CERF. If you have questions about an unauthorized solicitation, the online system, or about housing in general, please get in touch with the CERF office at [email protected].
