Please be aware that outside companies may contact you claiming to represent the SAC Conference or offering to book hotel rooms, travel, or attendee lists on our behalf.
These organizations are not affiliated with SAC or the SAC National Conference, and their offers are not authorized or endorsed by SAC.
SAC does not use a third-party agency to manage its hotel room block; attendees and exhibitors are responsible for booking their own accommodation directly with the hotel. If you receive a call or email from a company urging you to book your hotel room through their company or indicating that they have a rate better than the 2026 SAC Conference rate, please contact Bev Cooper, SAC’s Professional Development Coordinator, immediately.
All official conference communications, including information about registration, accommodations, and exhibitor services, will come directly from SAC or from our confirmed partners listed on our website. To protect your information and ensure secure bookings, please use only the links and contact details provided by SAC.
