Hotel Accommodations
To ensure that all WASB, WASBO and WASDA members are given an opportunity to efficiently book hotel rooms, we will be opening attending room blocks a bit later than usual this year.
Room blocks for the 2026 convention, held Jan. 21-23, will open on Monday, Nov. 3, at 8 a.m. Convention registration will open at the same time. When you register for the convention, you’ll receive a confirmation email that includes a link to book hotel rooms.
You will not be able to book hotel rooms before registering for the convention. Once you receive the initial convention registration confirmation email, you’ll be able to make ALL hotel reservations for your group using that same link. After booking your hotel rooms, you can return to the registration page to complete the registration process for any remaining guests in your group. The hotel room block cutoff date is Dec. 19, 2025.
We’re once again partnering with Visit Milwaukee to offer a universal hotel booking experience through the Meetingmax platform. All hotel reservations must be made through this centralized system, which you will be able to access through the link provided in your confirmation email.
Once a reservation is made in Meetingmax, attendees will receive an initial confirmation email from Meetingmax acknowledging that the reservation has been successfully submitted. This email serves as your confirmation that a reservation has been made.
- Compare rate and locations to find the best option for you.
- Modify your reservations.
- Make special requests without contacting the hotel directly.
- Work with Visit Milwaukee Housing Bureau staff to resolve any booking issues or questions.
Please note that we expect some hotels will sell out quickly. As November approaches, stay tuned to your email and the convention website for more information.
The WASB provides housing blocks as a courtesy to attendees to provide lower, negotiated room rates. If possible, please cancel unneeded room reservations before the block cut-off deadline to give other districts an opportunity to take advantage of the lower, negotiated rates. A hotel may charge any rate it chooses after that deadline or if additional rooms are added to a block.
