Support Your Association
We continue to make every effort to keep registration costs at a minimum for conference attendees. One way we do this is to negotiate a hotel room rate with the headquarters hotel, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, with the expectation that the majority of attendees will stay at the hotel. However, if the hotel room commitment is not met, DMEC will be penalized. To make sure there are no negative financial implications to DMEC and future conferences, we strongly encourage conference attendees to stay at the headquarters hotel.
