86th General Meeting Hotel Preview

As a result of recent increases in attendance and anticipated popularity of Anchorage, Alaska, the 86th General Meeting will take place the week of May 8, 2017, in two city hotels: the Hilton Anchorage and the Anchorage Marriott Downtown. Both hotels are in relative proximity to one another.

The Hilton Anchorage has been designated host hotel for National Board registration, the Monday Opening Session, General Session, member meetings, Wednesday Banquet, pickup and departure for tours, and all social receptions. Anchorage Marriott Downtown will provide sleeping rooms for registration guests including National Board staff.

ASME meetings will take place at the William A. Egan Civic and Convention Center, also located in relative proximity to both hotels.

Both the Hilton Anchorage and the Anchorage Marriott Downtown will feature a special nightly rate of $159/night.

Importance of Registration

Those who have preregistered for the General Meeting through the National Board website (registration is not yet available, but details are coming soon) will be given first priority for all discounted sleeping rooms at both the Hilton and Marriott. Attendees are urged to register for the General Meeting and book hotel rooms early. In the event that one or both hotels sell out, the National Board will reserve the right to cancel the reservation of anyone in its room block not preregistered for the General Meeting; therefore, it is strongly recommended that attendees register for the General Meeting before securing room reservations. Those seeking special room rates but failing to register for the National Board General Meeting are not guaranteed the discounted nightly rate.

About the Hotels

The Hilton features two onsite restaurants, a fitness center, indoor pool, 24-hour business center, and 20,000 square feet of event space.
