IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ATTENDEES
AAAR continues to make every effort to keep registration costs at a minimum for annual conference attendees. One way this is done is to negotiate a hotel room rate with the headquarters hotel (Hyatt Regency Minneapolis) with the expectation that the majority of attendees will stay at this hotel. However, if the hotel room commitment is not met, AAAR will be penalized. To make sure there are no negative financial implications to AAAR and its members, we strongly encourage conference attendees to stay at the headquarters hotel.
