Book Your Accommodation
Book your accommodation in Chicago early to receive the special conference rate. We expect the special ACR 2026 block of rooms will sell out! We appreciate the support of the community in staying at the Palmer House Hilton as ACR has financial commitments with the hotel, which helps offset registration rates. Please visit the accommodation page for more details.
