The primary event hotel is the Hotel-Crowne Plaza Knoxville. To book hotel rooms online at the special discounted group rate (Only $125.00 a night, no breakfast included), click on the link to the right after registration is opened.

NOTES FROM HOTEL

The link will work until 30 days prior to the first arrival date(2/11/24). That cut-off mark is the day that the unreserved rooms of the block will drop from the group’s inventory. After that day, there is no guarantee that the rate would be available

When one clicks on the link, it will go to our hotel’s reservation page.

Once there:

Individuals must choose their arrival and departure dates to accurately reflect their stay. The GROUP CODE field will automatically populate with the group code, when their arrival and departure dates are put in.

Click SEARCH.

The basic room type, rooms with two queen beds, will be the room type associated with the block.

Please, let potential attendees know that they can have other room types, but they’d need to contact the hotel for a room with one queen bed and a sofa-sleeper (Add $10), or a room with one king bed (Add $15).

After the cut-off date, attendees would need to contact the hotel, directly, to make a reservation into the block.

Note: If attendees try the booking link, and their stay is for days earlier than the first arrival date, or after the last date of the room block, they’ll need to contact the hotel to make their reservation. Our reservation manager, Jamie Julius, is available Mon – Fri, 830a – 430p, at 865-522-2600.

No meals are included in the rate, but our restaurant is open for all meal periods, and room service is also available.
