Book Within the Block

The SLA has contracted a limited number of sleeping rooms at a discounted rate at vetted properties within the closest proximity to the 2025 SLA Conference venue. Staying at these contracted hotels is highly encouraged.

When you book outside of the block or make reservations elsewhere, the SLA does not get credit for those rooms. When the minimum number of contracted rooms goes unsold, our section must pay penalty fees to the hotels. Finally, hotels other than those in our block or other accommodations, such as those found on Airbnb, have not been vetted, so the SLA cannot speak to the safety or quality of those properties.

Please reserve your room at one of the official hotels to help us keep overall conference costs as low as possible. Thank you for doing your part!
