CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE 2023 MCAA MIDYEAR MEETING 

We are on track for yet another record-setting MCAA Midyear Meeting from September 17-21 at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

We have been able to work with the hotel to secure additional rooms at the nearby sister property, The Hershey Lodge. 

As of this writing, we encourage anyone who has not registered for Midyear to still join us. Only bookings for Sunday — Wednesday will be handled through the MCAA process. Even if your stay is shorter, we strongly encourage you to register and request a room through MCAA channels. We will do our best to accommodate everyone.  

We look forward to having you join us for yet another productive and successful Midyear Meeting.
