2019 Convention: Hotel Reservation Deadline is Sept. 24
Convention 2019 will be here before you know it! 
 
If you haven't already, you will need to make your hotel reservations. All Convention activities will be held October 23-25 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Indianapolis.
 
To help you reserve your hotel rooms efficiently, we offer the JW Marriott Hotel system called GroupMAX powered by Passkey. The League has negotiated a favorable rate with this hotel which is outlined in the document available here . As has always been the case, this favorable pricing is not available to the general public.
 
Using the GroupMAX powered by Passkey housing system enables us to centralize the reservations process by allowing attendees to access the rooms within the League housing block. The JW Marriott is the only hotel in the Convention block for 2019. It is a smoke-free hotel. 
 
As you register for your hotel rooms, there are three important things to remember :
  1. Registrations can be made online or by phone. All reservations will be made through GroupMAX powered by Passkey. Contact information is listed below.
  2. The hotel reservation deadline is September 24, 2019.
  3. Penalties will be in place for cancellations and changes after the deadline.

 
The phone number for Passkey is (877) 303-0104.
