Housing

Why should I stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Virginia Beach?

1. Community and Collaboration: One of the most valuable aspects of any conference is the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, potential collaborators, and industry influencers. By staying at the host hotel, you’ll be just steps away from fellow attendees, enabling you to connect with them during breakfast, over a coffee in the lobby or at the hotel restaurant!
2. Convenience: Stay right where the action is! Ensure that you have easy access to all conference sessions and networking events all while saying goodbye to the hassle of commuting long distances, battling traffic or worrying about logistics.
3. Exclusive Offers: By booking your room at the host hotel, you gain access to exclusive perks and offers reserved only for conference attendees – our discounted room rates will not be beat!
