Book Only through the AHA Housing Service
Do not be misled by outside housing or travel agencies claiming to be the official housing provider for the upcoming AHA annual meeting. Only AHA’s official housing service, Maritz, can book rooms at the AHA’s discounted rate. Unfortunately, unscrupulous providers sometimes claim to provide housing for meetings and conventions when they are in no way affiliated with the sponsoring organization. This practice is a scam that attendees should be aware of in order to avoid passing on personal or financial information. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please notify us at annualmeeting@historians.org if you are contacted by any company claiming to provide housing for the AHA.
