Lodging for Annual Conference

Lodging for Annual Conference

We look forward to being back in Spokane and staying with our loyal hotel partners – The Davenport Grand and the DoubleTree by Hilton Spokane City Center! WSSDA has negotiated great room rates for conference attendees.

Both hotels are connected to the Spokane Convention Center by sky bridge, making your walk to the conference convenient and warm. Be sure to book early! Lodging will open when registration opens – June 7, 2024.

Cut-off date: The group rate cut off date is Friday, October 18, 2024.

Reservations

REGISTRATION FOR THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE IS THE FIRST STEP TO BOOKING A ROOM

As you complete the online registration, links for booking conference-rate hotel rooms will appear in your confirmation email. All rooms must be secured with a credit card at the time of booking.

After the group rate cut-off date of Friday, October 18, reservations are on a space-available basis, and the special conference rate is at the discretion of the hotel.

If you have difficulty securing a room, please email the WSSDA Registrar.
