How do I book my hotel accommodations?  

FIA recommends that you book your stay starting on Monday, 18 November so that you can participate in the Opening Reception sponsored by CME Group. Book your room.

Room rates start at $269.00 plus applicable taxes and fees. Room rates are subject to state and local taxes, currently 17.4%. Tax rates are subject to change. There is a 72–hour cancellation policy in place for all reservations. Failure to cancel a reservation 72 hours (about 3 days) prior to arrival will result in a one–night non–refundable guest room charge plus applicable taxes posted to the attendee's credit card on file.

The cut–off date for the group rate is October 24, 2024. Rooms are available on a first–come, first–served basis. Please note that once the block is sold out, the hotel's market price applies regardless of the date of booking.

You should receive a Registration Confirmation email at the email address on file. Confirmation emails come from info@fia.org. Please check your spam folder and if you still need assistance, contact Member Services.
