We have created a two-step process to provide the best customer experience to reduce and streamline wait times. Plus, a specific date to book your hotel lets you know exactly when you will be able to complete your hotel booking.
Once you have registered during the Pre-Registration period, hotel booking dates are determined by membership level or exhibitor level. Dates are assigned based on:
No, all registrants within each category (Premium Members; Top 50 exhibitors; AmericanHort Plus and Basic members; NonAmericanHort members) can book hotels on a first-come, first-serve basis on the date specified in the hotel booking email. Dates have been assigned and prioritized based on membership to provide the best customer service experience. For each of the days, hotel selection will begin at 11:00 AM, ET.
Yes. When entering registration, attendees should select the “Attendee” button and then select “Group” if they intend to register more than one individual. Exhibitors should select “Exhibitor” when entering registration, and you will automatically be able to register multiple individuals.
Only one person can register or book hotels on behalf of a group at the same time. Multiple people trying to log in from one registration group may cause errors.
Please note: only 15 rooms per hotel can be booked by the same company at each of the following hotels: Hilton and Hyatt. Only one person per company at a time can book multiple hotel rooms.
If you need hotel rooms for Cultivate, we highly encourage that you register during Pre-Registration for the greatest access to hotel accommodations.
After March 10, you will still be able to register for Cultivate at the same prices as those who register during the Pre-Registration period. Reservations within the Cultivate hotel block will be subject to availability, and highly desired locations may be sold out by this time.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to guarantee all attendees their first hotel of choice. Registering during the Pre-Registration period in February gives you the best opportunity for securing your top hotel pick. Please remember that since hotels have limited space, opportunity does not guarantee final outcome.
Luggage check is provided for the convenience of our attendees at $5 per bag. Stop by the Eisenmann Room at the top of the triple escalators to drop off your luggage at the times below.
Yes, complimentary shuttles will run from the hotels to the Convention Center each day of Cultivate. Please check at your hotel for the designated pick-up point and shuttle times. All shuttles will depart from the Transportation Zone in Convention Center Connector in the Connector between the Convention Center to the Hyatt and Hilton hotels.
