Attendees are strongly encouraged to make housing arrangements when they register and cancel the reservation if a roommate is identified.

Disclaimer: Room sharing arrangements are the responsibilities of the individual parties involved. Americans for the Arts expressly disclaims any responsibility regarding roommate matches and any potential disputes that may arise as a result of participation in the program. Americans for the Arts' role is strictly limited to the maintenance and distribution of the list of registrants who have signed up for the program. Americans for the Arts will maintain the list but does not (a) screen participants, (b) make determinations as to the appropriateness of any resulting room share, or (c) represent that any room share will prove to be satisfactory to the participants. Americans for the Arts in no way makes any recommendations for or endorsements of any specific roommate arrangements.

Tips: Work out with your roommate a contingency plan if one person needs to cancel their attendance at the meeting due to an emergency or otherwise.

Since your roommate will be arriving separately, be sure to list their name on the reservation as having permission to check in and get a key to your shared room from the front desk by showing a picture ID.

We want to ensure that your conference experience is pleasant and comfortable. Attendees needing special accommodations including ADA access, hearing or visual aids, or special meal requests, please make sure to indicate these items on the registration form. You may also contact us by e-mail at events@artsusa.org.

The Opening Reception, breakfasts, and luncheons are included in your registration fee. Dine-Arounds are Dutch-treat, so costs are additional and the responsibility of the attendee.
