Making Hotel Reservations

Hotel registration will open with conference registration on October 1, 2025. Hotel reservations will be handled by our registration and housing partner, Maritz Global Events. Please do not contact the hotel directly. Discounted rates can only be obtained by reserving through Maritz. NAIS is unable to move reservations made outside the block into the block or to adjust the room rates quoted by the hotels directly. Below is a list of hotels within the NAIS block. More hotels may be added later.  

ALERT! NAIS will never reach out to attendees and exhibitors directly to book hotel rooms. We work exclusively with Maritz to handle our conference and housing registrations. If you receive calls from any third-party vendor, we strongly advise that you do not give these solicitors any personal information. Find more information below.
 

Hotels are within walking distance of the Summit Building. The current hotel room tax is at a rate of 15.7% per room + 2.3% tourism assessment fee per night and is subject to change without notice.​ 

ALERT: Housing and List Buying Scam

Large conferences and events often become targets for companies seeking to take advantage of the attendees. Some of our members have reported that they’ve been contacted by third-party companies for several reasons, including offering to sell our attendee list to them. 

NAIS does not sell the attendee list for our conferences to any third-party companies or list brokers. These solicitations are simply an attempt to confirm your email address and get your credit card information. We are working with our legal representation to combat this issue.  

In addition, there are several third-party companies that have contacted members and exhibitors to book hotel accommodations through their companies.  

These third-party “pirate” companies create websites and email solicitations offering special discounted hotel rooms for other associations’ meetings. They use web domain names and email addresses that look like the official versions for the conference. Often, these discounted rooms do not exist. The primary objective of this solicitation is to obtain your credit card information. 

Maritz Global Events is our exclusive housing provider. NAIS has no affiliation with any other company and cannot guarantee rates or accommodations made through these companies. All correspondence received from Maritz regarding housing for Thrive 2026, the NAIS annual conference, will come from NAISAnnual@maritz.com. 

If you have any doubt about the information that you are receiving regarding Thrive 2026, the NAIS annual conference, please call or email us: (202) 973-9700 or annualconference@nais.org.
