The reservation cut-off date is Friday, June 8, 2012. 
The AMA has negotiated special group rates for the 2012 Nonprofit Marketing Conference. You must make your hotel reservations by June 8, 2012 and properly identify yourself to qualify for the special group rate. After June 8, 2012, the rooms will be released for sale to the general public, and all reservations will be accepted on a space available basis at the hotel's available rate - not at the group rate. A deposit in the amount of (1) one night’s room & tax for each confirmed room will be due at time of booking. Deposits are refundable if cancellations are received by 6:00 p.m. hotel time on the day of arrival and a cancellation number is obtained. In the event that a guest fails to check-in for a guaranteed reservation, a non-refundable fee of one night room and tax will be charged to the credit card on file and the balance of the reservation will be cancelled.  

Check in time is 4:00 p.m., and check out is at 12:00 a.m. Anyone arriving earlier than 4:00 p.m. will be checked in as soon as a room(s) becomes available. Guests checking out early may be assessed an early departure fee. Upon check in, guests will be asked to verify their departure date.  At that time, scheduled departure dates may be altered.
