Midyear Hotel Nights Limited, Register As Soon As Possible

Words: Jeff Buczkiewicz

CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE AND REGISTER FOR THE MCAA MIDYEAR MEETING IN MEMPHIS FROM SEPTEMBER 12-16

Registration for the MCAA Midyear Meeting has been very robust to date. Space has become extremely limited at the hotel, with September 10th and 11th now sold out. If you need to book those nights, our housing company will attempt to find a room for you at a nearby hotel that the MCAA will contract with for overflow. The sooner you're able to get your hotel reservations in, the sooner we can begin working on securing any needed nights. The hotel's cut-off date is August 15th, which means we will have to give back any unused portion of our room block. The feeling is we would likely not see rooms again at our group rate after the 15th, if there are even any Peabody rooms left after that time. Please register and secure your rooms as soon as possible.
