Conference Hotel Info
Attention: Lodging is not included in your registration fees. For your convenience, we have set up room blocks in a fantastic hotel with great rates, options, and full breakfast included (breakfast is not served at the conference). We encourage you to reserve rooms sooner rather than later so you don't miss out on the conference rate.
Our Official Conference Hotel is two hotels in one location! The Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites is located in the same building on 222 Central Avenue (Route 66) in downtown Albuquerque, approximately 1.5 miles from the Student Union Building at UNM where the conference will be held. Although located in the same building, they operate as two hotels and offer guests different options.
