Be cautious! This is likely a case of housing piracy or poaching. Maritz is the only official company authorized to manage hotel reservations for the 2026 AALS Annual Meeting. In the past, some registrants have received unsolicited offers for discounted hotel rooms from companies falsely claiming to represent AALS or presenting themselves as alternatives to Maritz. These offers are not valid and may be misleading.
When AALS secures hotel room blocks for the Annual Meeting, we carefully vet each property to ensure it meets our standards and offers rooms at the negotiated AALS rate.
Don’t be misled. If you are contacted by anyone offering hotel accommodation for the Annual Meeting, do not make a reservation or provide payment information. Instead, gather as much information as possible about the caller and report it to: Hannah Hershfield, AALS Associate Director of Meetings at [email protected]
