With the 2017 PPS Annual Conference only a couple weeks away (November 1 – 4), now’s the time to double-check that you’ve got your lodging all straightened out. There’s nothing worse than arriving in a city to find that you’ve forgotten to book a hotel room.  Pick the right hotel and you’ll be living it up in the lap of luxury, wait too long, and you may find yourself sharing a bathroom with a tourist named Hans.

We’ve done the research on the hotels recommended by the conference and put together a quick snapshot of what they each offer conference attendees.

 

Chicago Hilton

Room Cost: Sold Out During Conference

What better hotel is there to sat ay when attending a conference than the hotel hosting the event. Unfortunately, as of now, this hotel is all booked up during the dates of the conference. But, just because you can’t get a room, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy everything the hotel has to offer (ahem Irish Pub ahem).
