ASB has a contract with the Hilton that requires us to use a set number of sleeping rooms. Any rooms not booked by our members, must be paid for by ASB. Please book your rooms at the Hilton and not the Marriott (even if you are a member of the Marriott Rewards Program and have a gadzillion points accumulated over the past 35 years- use them for personal travel!)
Thank you, we appreciate your support of ASB and our move to the Hilton.
To book your room at the Hilton Chicago, please call the hotel directly at (877) 865-5320 and mention the group code BAK or click here to reserve online. Room reservations must be booked by January 30, 2015 to obtain the conference rate of $179.
