New Convention Central!
The Hyatt Regency will now be Convention central.
The venue for this year’s Convention has changed. Convention Central is now the Hyatt Regency, formerly the Adams Mark Hotel, overlooking the St. Louis Arch; which is 7 blocks from the Renaissance. The Hyatt Hotel has a much lower room rate than the Renaissance. The cost is only $99 per night NOW through Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Each room includes free WIFI, coffee makers, and a mini refrigerator. Smoking rooms are available at the Hyatt for an additional $30 per night. Starbucks, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, and many other dining options are available on site for your convenience.

Please Note: The Group Rate of $99 is currently unavailable for the night of Saturday, September 29th. Please call 1-888-421-1442 for availability and room rate.
