NELA has reserved a block of rooms at the rate of $159 for single or double occupancy (plus applicable taxes). To ensure that you receive the group rate, identify yourself as part of the “NELA Fall 2023 Seminar” room block. A credit card or deposit equal to one night’s stay is necessary to guarantee hotel reservations. Registrants are responsible for their hotel reservations.

You may cancel your reservation up to three days prior to arrival without penalty.
This is a limited and discounted exclusive room block available for NELA 2023 Fall Seminar attendees. Support NELA by booking your stay within our exclusive block. To take advantage of our special group rate, you must book your room online by September 18, 2023.
NELA is committed to utilizing socially responsible venues for our events and works closely with the Informed Meetings Exchange (INMEX) to find locations that respect the communities, the workers, and the environment in which they operate. Founded in 2006 with the support of the hotel workers’ union (UNITE HERE), INMEX is a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive meeting planning resources. Unlike traditional third-party meeting planners, we ensure you’re booking meetings with socially responsible hotel corporations.
