Midyear Registration Trending To Break 20-Year Record

Words: Jeff Buczkiewicz

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE MCAA MIDYEAR MEETING FROM SEPTEMBER 12-16. NEW HOTEL ROOM BLOCKS ARE AVAILABLE.

Registration for the MCAA Midyear Meeting remains strong. There is still time to register, and we are in the process of securing new hotel room blocks. As of today, The Peabody Hotel is sold out. 

We are continuing to try and secure additional hotel rooms for attendees. Our housing deadline is still August 15th. After this date, hotel reservations will likely be very limited. 

Hotel room nights have set a 20-year record for MCAA Midyear Meetings. Attendee registration is up 30% from last year as of right now, with our projections having the final number closer to a 50-60% increase.  

Please register AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you have not done so already. If you are placed into an overflow hotel, you will also join a waitlist to move to The Peabody in the event space opens up. Registrants will be moved back in their registration order. 

We look forward to seeing you in Memphis!
