Children’s Institute Hotel Waitlist Opens

The American Booksellers Association’s room blocks at the 2017 ABC Children’s Institute host hotel, the Red Lion Hotel on the River, and the Oxford Suites Portland are currently sold out.

Registrants in need of a hotel room for the April 5–7 event in Portland, Oregon, can now add their names to the institute’s hotel waitlist or make reservations with a nearby hotel. Those on the waitlist will be notified on a first-come, first-served basis if rooms become available.

Additional Children’s Institute hotel and travel information is available here; questions should be directed to ABA Meetings & Planning Officer Jill Perlstein.

There is still time to register for the Children’s Institute, but space is limited and there is a maximum of five registrants per ABA member business. The Ci5 conference fee is $99 per bookseller.

Booksellers may cancel their Children’s Institute registration at any time by e-mailing [email protected]. Cancellations received prior to March 1 are eligible for a full refund of registration fees; cancellations received on or after March 1 are not eligible for refund.
