Hotels, Rates & Block Information
The 2019 ACA Annual Meeting will be a little different. The ACA has reserved the Northern Kentucky Convention Center for sessions, workshops and events and two blocks of rooms at two separate hotels, the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter and the Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter, which are both located across the street from the Convention Center.
Staying in one of the ACA room blocks is not only a convenient way to help you stay connected with activities and networking opportunities during the meeting, it also helps keep your meeting costs as low as possible. The ACA recognizes that our attendees have a number of options when securing hotel accommodations for the Annual Meeting. In order to produce a successful and rewarding experience for attendees, the ACA has made a commitment to the conference hotels to secure a block of hotel rooms at competitive prices and to provide prime meeting space for our meeting sessions, events and activities. The ACA is contractually bound to fill this room block and an inability to fill the block will result in financial penalties which could affect negotiations and costs for future meetings so staying within our block is not only convenient but fiscally beneficial to both our attendees and our society.
 A single room rate is $159 per room per night (plus tax) at either the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter or the Embassy Suites Cincinnati RiverCenter.
Rooms for students or postdocs are $129 per room, per night (plus tax) at either the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter or the Embassy Suites Cincinnati RiverCenter. These discounted rooms are ONLY for students and postdocs. If you make a reservation at this rate but are found to be ineligible, you will be asked to cancel and rebook at the appropriate rate. New reservations will be subject to hotel's availability.

The ACA's room block closes at both hotels on June 27, 2019. Don't wait until the room block closes, for the past two years the ACA's hotel room block has sold out prior to the meeting. Reserve your room as soon as possible to guarantee availability.
Please note! Adding dates outside of the reserved block will result in the search advising that there are no rooms available. The ACA has a room block reserved from July 19th to July 25th at both the Marriott and the Embassy, but if you include a date outside of the block, for example July 18th, the search result will advise that there are no rooms available. Further, if you include dates during which the room block has sold out, for example the Marriott on July 19th, then the search will again advise that there are no rooms available. If you are looking to add days outside of the block to your reservation please email the [email protected] to request assistance with your reservation and ensure that you are staying in the ACA block.
