The PCA/ACA National Conference will be held March 27-30, 2013 at the Wardman Park Marriott in Washington, D.C.
Hotel Reservations:
We have several options with discounted rates for PCA/ACA members. We strongly encourage members to check the conference hotel first. Since part of the financial structure of the conference depends on us reserving enough rooms at the conference hotel, it’s important that members stay there if they can. If you have a reservation at the conference hotel that you do not intend to use (or is longer than you intend to use), please adjust it as soon as possible so others may use those rooms.
