Housing and Attendee List Advisory

Maritz Global Events is the Official Housing and Registration Provider for the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference. Improper solicitation of hotel reservations from any company other than Maritz Global Events is not approved. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to have lower rates, however they may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please be aware of and report any unauthorized solicitation to EDUCAUSE and we encourage you to file a complaint with the FTC*.

Due to its popularity, the event is targeted each year by housing and registration poachers. Be sure to only work with the official show vendors, which include:

  • Housing and Registration: Maritz Global Events

  • Forward the email you received to [email protected].
  • Email us the company name and contact information if you were contacted by phone.
