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 TBA.

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.
