Hotel Reservation Info

GSA has negotiated special hotel rates for GSA 2018 attendees. We appreciate your support by staying in the official GSA hotels; your patronage enables GSA to secure the meeting space at a greatly reduced cost, which in turn helps lower the cost of the meeting and your registration fees. A portion of the room rate also helps to offset overall meeting costs.

10 October was the deadline to make reservations through GSA’s official housing company, Visit Indy.

New Reservations Only

The GSA 2018 official housing block is now closed, however if you are planning on attending the conference and have not secured a hotel reservation, search for hotel availability through our trusted partner aRes Travel. Check availability here.

These reservations are not part of the GSA 2018 room block. Please read all terms and conditions carefully before booking. aRes Travel is a third-party travel planner. Rates, deposits and cancellation policies may vary and are the responsibility of the guest.
