When you book your room in the official AAPA hotel block, we’ll take $200 off your registration cost. This special discount applies only to a minimum 2-night stay and is available until May 1, 2020, per availability. Attendees will be prompted to book their hotel and register at the same time in order to apply the $200 discount.

This policy was enacted so that we can provide our attendees with discounted hotel room rates, low conference registration costs, a large and varied selection of properties, the best networking opportunities – and an extra $200 off registration. This year in Nashville, you can choose from 25 options, all convenient to the convention center.

If you live within a 50-mile radius of Nashville, you are automatically eligible for the $200 discount on your registration rate. Special considerations may be made for those who live in the Nashville area, but are outside the 50-mile radius. Please contact us for more information. If you are sharing a room with other attendees, you may still be eligible for the $200 registration discount, even if you’re already registered. See our Housing Policy FAQs for more information.
