Stay at the Conference Hotel and Save on Your Registration Fee!

To keep registration fees—and your ASCE dues—low, it is critical to fill the hotel block and avoid attrition penalties. This year ASCE is offering registrants who stay at the conference hotel, the U.S. Grant Hotel, a $100 discount off your registration fee. You must first register at the conference hotel and provide the hotel code and confirmation number on your registration form to receive the reduced rate. See conference registration form on page 15.
