INitiate 2025 - Hotel and Travel

All programming will be held at the JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria Hotel

AACP Discounted JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria Hotel Room Rates

The AACP single/double occupancy group rate is $225 (+17.82% applicable state and local taxes). This room rate automatically includes complimentary basic in-room Wi-Fi. Discounted guestroom rates will be offered, based on availability, three days pre- and post-meeting dates.

After registering for INitiate 2025, you will immediately receive a confirmation email with information about the meeting, including how to reserve your room in the AACP room block. If you do not receive the confirmation email within 1 hour of completing your registration, please contact mail@aacp.org to request that the confirmation email be resent to you. Reservations may be cancelled up to 72 hours (3 days) prior to your reservation start date without penalty. A credit card will be required to guarantee your reservation but it will not be pre-charged.

Room Reservation Cut-off Date

The cut-off date for room reservations at the discounted rate is Wednesday, January 22, 2025. After this date, rooms will only be confirmed on a space-available basis at the prevailing hotel rates.

Staying at the JW Marriott by The Galleria allows AACP to keep your registration fees at the current rates. If AACP does not achieve a minimum number of overnight accommodations, the price of services will increase registration fees for future programs. Without your support, AACP faces huge financial penalties for unused sleeping rooms.

Important Notice

Please be on the lookout for scams. There are “convention services” companies that sometimes contact conference attendees to solicit hotel reservations for public-facing meetings. These companies have not been authorized to handle our housing and are not affiliated with our meetings in any way. While it is not illegal for a travel firm or booking agent to solicit potential customers, it can be difficult to determine the legitimacy of offers from these companies. We strongly recommend that you do not provide credit card details to any phone or email solicitors. If you do reserve through one of these companies, you will likely not have a reservation when you arrive in Houston. Please reserve your rooms directly through our registration and hotel process per the instructions in your confirmation email to avoid becoming the victim of fraud.

COVID-19 Safety

Effective December 1, 2022, AACP will no longer require proof of vaccination status or a negative test result to attend any AACP in-person meetings or events. Instead, AACP expects attendees to take responsibility themselves for following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications.
AACP monitors the most recent guidance on vaccines provided by the CDC and will update our policy accordingly if that changes substantively. All registrants will be notified via email of any changes. AACP appreciates the understanding of its members and partners as we seek to provide valuable, timely face-to-face programming while prioritizing the health and safety of attendees and our host communities.
