Denver offers a magnificent variety of accommodations and rates to satisfy every traveler. AABB has secured rooms at 12 hotels throughout the city ranging from $169 - $223. AABB's Hotel Rate Guarantee assures you that you are receiving the lowest rate the hotel is offering during the dates of the meeting.
Securing your guest room through AABB's housing provider helps us offset the costs of meeting space, exhibit hall rental, food and beverage and many other costs associated with the annual meeting. These are sizeable costs to the organization that must be covered. Attendees who stay in other non-official hotels do not help offset these expenses nor do they limit AABB's liability for low sleeping room usage at our contracted hotel(s) which then increases our exposure to financial penalties. Your assistance in helping AABB in this regard, will, in turn, help to keep its conference costs reasonable which will be a great benefit for all of us now and in the future. Thank you.
