Hotel Reservations
This year’s Annual Meeting will be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.
Please Note: AAHKS reserves the right to cancel a room reservation booked in the attendee room block at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center.
Registering for the 2026 AAHKS Annual Meeting prior to reserving your hotel room is highly recommended but not required. However, AAHKS will be cross-checking hotel lists against registered exhibitor representatives. Room reservations are subject to cancellation if not registered for the 2026 AAHKS Annual Meeting by Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026.
Hotel Room Scam Advisory
You may be contacted by phone or e-mail by outside housing companies (i.e. Expo Housing Services, Global Elite Travel, National Travel Associates, Travel Group Partners, etc.) to secure hotel room reservations. Please be advised that these companies are not endorsed, affiliated or working in partnership with AAHKS. Reservations made through these companies for our meeting cannot be guaranteed.
Brokers soliciting your business have been known to accept payment without confirming room reservations. If this occurs, the hotel has no obligation to provide you with the accommodations you were expecting. Please beware and do not fall victim to this practice. AAHKS has contracted with official hotels to manage the AAHKS room blocks and they are the only source that can guarantee your reservation.
Please report any unauthorized solicitations to Meeting@AAHKS.org.
Exhibitor Hotel Reservations
AAHKS is excited to host the 2026 Annual Meeting at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center! AAHKS has special hotel rates at the hotels below for attendees and exhibitors registered to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting. Please note your registration does not include a hotel room. Hotel reservations must be made separately.
The AAHKS rates are subject to availability up until Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, or until the hotel sells out (whichever comes first). After this date, reservations will be accepted by the hotel based on availability and at the hotel’s prevailing rate. We recommend flying into the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Complimentary shuttles will be offered from overflow hotels to the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center during peak event times.
If you need assistance or have any questions, please contact the housing company by emailing aahks-housing@meetingmax.cc.
The booking link to secure a room at a preferred AAHKS hotel will be available in early July when exhibitor registration opens.

Housing Piracy Notice: Please be aware of companies that may call or email you to assist with hotel reservations for the 2026 AAHKS Annual Meeting. The intent is to convince you that the offer is made on AAHKS’ behalf, or that the soliciting company is a viable alternative to going directly to the hotel. These companies are not affiliated with or working in partnership with AAHKS, and reservations made through these companies cannot be guaranteed. Contact AAHKS Headquarters at (847-698-1200) with any questions or concerns.
