Hotel Reservations will open in May 2025.

The Hyatt Regency Minneapolis offers accommodations at $209 per night, plus 13.5% tax. The CVSA hotel rate will be available until Monday, July 28, or until the room block sells out. After July 28, all unreserved rooms will be released to the general public.

Hotel accommodations are “first come, first served” and may sell out at any time. A portion of the room rate from the hotels will be credited to CVSA to offset convention and administrative costs.

Please note, hotel rooms are restricted to those who have registered, or intend to register, for NAIC. Further, CVSA prohibits the act of “suitcasing,” which is being in the hotel or conference space with the intention of soliciting business without registering for the event.

Note: CVSA works only with the official accommodations providers listed on the event website and does not endorse the use of any third-party booking companies. Be aware of the malicious practice of room poaching where third-party companies portray themselves as being associated with an event to solicit attendees for room reservations. This practice can not only be fraudulent but also has the potential to expose the association to penalties and cause increased room rates for future meetings.
