One night’s deposit will be charged upon booking your room. Cancellations must be made 30 days prior to arrival in order to avoid a one night’s penalty. (See article below for explanation)

Additional information will be posted here as it is available.
Reservations Policies/Cancellations
This year, when you reserve a room or block of rooms, a name will need to be given for each room reserved. The hotel will also collect one nights room fee to help ensure that people only book rooms they intend to use. This fee will be refundable if the room is cancelled at least 30 days in advance. In the past we have had many rooms booked early on, but then cancelled as conference approaches. This harms the association in several ways. The most obvious is that other attendees who call up are unable to get rooms and either a) decide not to attend the conference at all because they can not get a room or b) have to book a room somewhere else and it does not count under our room block. Second, when CSNA signs the contract with the hotel, we guarantee that the rooms will be used or paid for. If the rooms are cancelled by attendees, CSNA is held responsible and must pay for the rooms not used. This can cause CSNA to have to increase the registration fees and/or cut programs and services to our members. Please help us to keep our registration fees down by thinking your hotel needs through carefully before booking your rooms to try to minimize the number of cancellations which CSNA will need to pay for. If there is an emergency and you or an employee are unable to attend, we will work with the hotel to get them to wave the 30 day requirement, but this will be done on a case by case basis. If you have any questions, please contact Janine Nichols, CSNA Executive Director at (818) 842-3040. Thank you and we all look forward to seeing you at conference.
