Learn how to access and complete credential forms.

Housing Registration

All housing reservations for AFSCME’s 47th International Convention are coordinated by AFSCME’s Conference and Travel Services Department. Please review Information You Need to Know Before Booking Your Hotel before making your reservations.

It is extremely important that AFSCME attendees use rooms that are under the AFSCME-contracted room blocks. AFSCME will incur financial penalties if delegates, alternates and guests book their own rooms or use hotels not listed here. AFSCME has negotiated daily Convention hotel rates that include taxes. Please note that the room type cannot be guaranteed until the time of check-in.

Please be advised that in order to be in AFSCME’s contracted room block and receive our negotiated rates, your reservations CANNOT be booked DIRECTLY through your assigned hotel(s) via their website or by calling them. ALL housing reservations for AFSCME’s 47th International Convention MUST be booked by AFSCME’s Conference & Travel Services Department by visiting the registration website.

Through the AFSCME Convention registration website, you can book, modify or cancel your hotel reservations. Returning your delegate and alternate credential form does not indicate your need for housing.

Begin the Housing Registration Process.

Housing Reservation / Modification Deadlines

The deadline for housing for AFSCME’s International Convention is June 26, 2026. Reservations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. When a hotel block is full, attendees will be placed at another hotel in the AFSCME Hotel Block. Please note that the room type (king/double) cannot be guaranteed until the time of check-in.

Reservations made after June 26, 2026, will be confirmed based on hotel rates and availability. July 10, 2026 is the final day that AFSCME’s Conference & Travel Services Department can accept changes or cancellations. Please contact your hotel directly after this date.

As a reminder, if you are a delegate or alternate, don’t forget to complete your credentials! Delegate and Alternate Credential forms must be received or postmarked by no later than Tuesday, July 28, 2026.

If you have additional questions, please contact CTS at 202-429-1169 or email at CONVhousing@afscme.org.

Housing Payment

The AFSCME Chicago hotel blocks are no longer accepting checks or cash for hotel reservations. Details on payment options are included in the Housing Registration process. If you have any questions, please contact CTS at CONVhousing@afscme.org or call (202) 429-1169.

Please note: A credit card is required at the time of booking to guarantee each guest’s reservation for one night.

The credit card will only be charged for the first night of the room and tax, not the full stay, after July 12. If your affiliate is covering your hotel stay, you are responsible for ensuring that your payment method on file is updated by July 1. This is to ensure that your credit card on file is not charged for the one night’s room and tax.
