We want to remind you that the official, exclusive housing partner for Cultivate is Maritz Global Events.

Additionally, AmericanHort does not sell the Cultivate attendee list and does not authorize any third party vendors to do so. Do not trust any outside vendors that contact you to purchase attendee lists.

    The Maritz Customer Service Center will be available 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday.

  • Why does the Pre-Registration period involve a two-step process to register and book hotel rooms?

    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.

  • If I Pre-Registered, how are hotel booking times determined?

    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:

    • AmericanHort Premium Membership
    • Top 50 exhibitors based on sponsorship and booth size
    • AmericanHort Plus Membership
    • AmericanHort Membership
    • All non-AmericanHort members

  • If I Pre-Registered and have received my hotel booking email, is there a priority of who can book first on the day I've been assigned?

    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 10:00 AM, ET.

  • Can one person register and book hotels for multiple people?

    Absolutely. 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.

  • Am I at a disadvantage if I register after March 11?

    You will still be able to register for Cultivate at the same prices as those who register during the Pre-Registration period. If you need hotel accommodations, we highly recommend registering during the Pre-Registration period.

  • Can I be guaranteed my hotel of choice?

    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.

  • Is there a place to check luggage at the convention center?

    Luggage check is provided for the convenience of our attendees at $3 per bag. Stop by the Eisenmann Room at the top of the triple escalators to drop off your luggage at the times below.

    • Saturday, July 12 -  7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
    • Sunday, July 13 - 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
    • Monday, July 14 - 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
    • Tuesday, July 15 - 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM

  • Is there a shuttle to the hotels?

    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.
