ASV Hotel Blocks
Discounted blocks have been reserved at the below lodging locations with various cut off dates. All rooms are subject to availability and regular rates. Please use the direct links and/or access codes to receive the conference rate. Booking lodging accommodation does not register you for the conference.
Hotel reservations are only possible via the below links or by contacting the hotel directly. No one will contact you directly to book your hotel room or offer you a “special discounted conference rate.” If you receive one of these calls or emails, it is a scam.
Many of the hotels with which ASV contracted group room blocks for ASV 2024 are currently sold out. However, there is still space available at the OSU residence hall and we will continue to update the website if space opens up at the properties with ASV group rates.
