Housing is available AFTER you complete your conference registration. Once you complete your registration, your registration summary will include a link to make an online hotel reservation. The link can be accessed either from the online registration summary screen or the email registration confirmation. In the online registration summary screen, select the button “Hotel Reservations” that appears in the upper left side of the screen. In the email confirmation, select the link “Hotel Reservations” in the upper right side of the email.
Special meeting group rates and exclusive AERA promotions and incentives have been negotiated with hotels near the Annual Meeting events. Register and request housing early as rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please reserve your hotel room through Connections Housing, AERA’s official housing bureau to obtain the special group rates. Do not contact the hotels directly; the hotels will not accept reservations directly and beware of other solicitations for hotel rooms during AERA. Connections Housing is the ONLY housing provider for AERA.
For housing assistance or to modify your reservation, please contact AERA Housing Customer Service at aera@connectionshousing.com or call 725-201-7409.
