Reserve a room at the official NIRSA Conference hotel

We encourage you to stay with your colleagues and friends at the official Conference Hotel.

NIRSA relies on strong room block usage to secure conference meeting space, increase negotiation leverage for future conferences, and to help keep overall NIRSA Conference expenses low. When attendees do not utilize the block, it drives up costs for the following year due to financial losses.

  • Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
    National Harbor, Maryland

    Starting at $250* per night single/double/triple occupancy. An additional person is $20.

    *Rates are inclusive of resort fee which includes complimentary wireless internet throughout the resort, two welcome drinks, a daily cookie at the market and 20 b&w copies at business center. Discounted parking is also offered.
