Conference Location:

There are no hotels connected to the Convention Center, however, there are lots of lodging options available on Jekyll Island.  We have negotiated room blocks with several hotels to fit a variety of budgets and types of rooms needed.  Those are listed below.

View a map of the island here.

Room reservation cut-off date for all hotels is September 11, 2026 unless otherwise noted on their reservation site.  Hotel rates do not include taxes and other fees.  Some hotels will have more rooms available than others.  Once a room block is sold out, no other rooms will be added for our group at that location.

Make sure to tell the hotel you are with our group.  If an online link indicates rooms are sold out, please call the hotel to verify.  Sometimes the online systems are not correct.

If our hotel blocks are full, you can find other lodging options available at: https://www.jekyllisland.com/lodging/
