Mark your calendars for the opening of hotel room blocks for the 2023 MSBO Annual Conference & Exhibit Show. The room blocks will open on Tuesday, December 6. Watch for more detailed information as the date approaches.
The Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids will serve as host hotel for the 84th MSBO Annual Conference & Exhibit Show – April 25-27, 2023.
There will also be room blocks available for three other Grand Rapids hotels on December 6:
- JW Marriott Grand Rapids
- Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Grand Rapids
- Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown
Early Bird Registration will begin in February 2023. You will be able to register for the full conference, pre-conferences, and certification classes as well as select all the sessions you wish to attend. Scholarships will also be offered, and the application will be available at the same time as Early Bird Registration.
We recommend only booking overnight rooms directly with hotels using our room blocks so you can get the preferred rates. If you book outside of the MSBO room blocks, the hotels use different registration systems for general registrations than room block registrations. If you book your room using their general registration system, you will not be able to transfer your overnight room to the MSBO block to obtain the lower rate.
NEW THIS YEAR: You may only book one room at a time, and you must book online for rooms at the Amway Grand Plaza, JW Marriott and the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown.
Don’t Let This Happen to You!
MSBO does not work with outside companies for overnight accommodations.
If you are contacted by someone claiming to be with MSBO or any company that says they are closely associated with MSBO and want to book your accommodations for the 2023 MSBO Annual Conference – don’t believe them!
These companies use sophisticated, deceptive tactics such as:
- Claiming to have hotel rooms available at a lower rate
- Informing registrants that the hotel is “sold out” and to book immediately
- Representing themselves as being affiliated with the event, illegally using the MSBO logo
If you have any questions or this happens to you, please contact Deneen Hansen at 517.290.5726 or email dhansen@msbo.org.
