• General Housing Policies

  FCCLA contracts with hotels in cities where nationally sponsored meetings are held. Room rates and cost of meeting space are based on anticipated room pick-up. Registered attendees must stay within the official meeting hotel block when attending the conference.

  Attendees not staying within the official conference hotel block will be assessed a $125 fee per registration. This policy will not be implemented once the hotel block is sold out. Lack of availability of a preferred room type will not provide an exemption from this policy.

  All National Leadership Conference attendees must register to attend the entire conference and stay within the official conference hotel block for a required minimum of four (4) nights. In any extenuating circumstance, a written waiver may be submitted via the State Adviser to National FCCLA Staff for consideration.

  When making hotel reservations, use the online booking link for booking 1 to 25 rooms or the housing form for ten (10) rooms or more. For the safety and security of all guests and attendees, all guests staying in each room must be listed on that room reservation.

  Please note: Room reservation cancellations made after May 15, 2024, will incur a non-refundable fee of $450.

• Hotel Assignments

  Housing reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Advisers can select their hotel of choice on the housing reservation site once their registration is submitted.

  FCCLA will not make hotel assignments or protect guest rooms for any individual state or school for the 2024 National Leadership Conference.

• Hotel Reservations
  • It is important that you make your hotel reservations before booking travel arrangements. 
  • Reservations should be made only using the housing reservation site or the official housing form.
  • The hotel reservation site link will be found in your conference registration confirmation email. The email will be sent to the primary adviser’s email address on file in the Portal. If you do not receive this email within 48 hours of registering, please notify meetings@fcclainc.org.
  • For safety and security reasons, all hotel guests must be conference attendees and names must be provided when making room reservations online or using the official FCCLA housing form.
  • FCCLA verifies hotel housing lists versus the conference registration list frequently prior to the start of the conference.
  • First priority for two-bedded rooms will be given to those with three or four individuals per room.
  • Cancellations to room reservations after May 15, 2024, will be charged $450 per room to the credit card on file.
  • Telephone reservations will not be accepted, and reservations not using the official housing reservation site or form will not be included in the FCCLA hotel block.
  • Reservations made by third-party booking sites (Expedia, Orbitz, Kayak, etc.) or directly with the hotel will not be included in the FCCLA hotel block and will not qualify as staying within the FCCLA housing block. FCCLA cannot accept responsibility for reservations booked improperly.
  • FCCLA reserves the right to cancel hotel reservations for individuals not registered to attend the 2024 National Leadership Conference.
• Hotel Confirmations

  Once your hotel reservation(s) have been submitted, you will receive a hotel acknowledgment email from Orchid Events within 24 hours. This will serve as your temporary confirmation of your reservation. If you do not receive this email, please email FCCLA@orchid.events.

  Orchid Events will pass all the reservation information to the respective FCCLA hotels two weeks after the cut-off date. After June 10, 2024, you should receive an official hotel confirmation email with your official hotel confirmation number. Review your confirmation carefully to ensure all names and dates are correct. Contact the hotel immediately if changes need to occur.

  Please be sure to check your spam/junk folders for these emails.

  Please note: Hotels will not have your reservation until this transfer happens, but rest assured, as long as you have an acknowledgment number, you have a reservation.

• Hotel Modifications & Cancellations

  Modifications and cancellations to housing reservations can be made through the following options:

  • By selecting the link provided in your acknowledgment email, or
  • Through the housing website by selecting 'Manage Existing Reservation,' or
  • By emailing FCCLA@orchid.events

  After June 10, 2024, you must work with your confirmed hotel to modify or cancel your reservation.

  Cancellations to room reservations after May 15, 2024, will be charged $450 to the credit card on file per room.

Housing Payments

All reservations must be secured with a credit card to guarantee the room(s). The credit card will not be charged unless you cancel after May 15, 2024, then $450 will be applied. Please read the specific instructions below based on your final payment method.

• FINAL PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD ON FILE

  If you are using the credit card you used to book the hotel reservation and you will have that credit card in your possession at check-in, nothing else needs to be done.

  If you have a school credit card without your name, you must complete the Credit Card Authorization form/link for your selected hotel.

• FINAL PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD NOT IN YOUR POSSESSION OR WITHOUT YOUR NAME

  If you are paying the final payment with a credit card not in your possession, or paying with a school credit card that does not have your name on it, you will need further instructions and request a credit card authorization form or link for your confirmed hotel by emailing FCCLA@orchid.events. Complete the form or link with the requested information and return it to your confirmed hotel by June 10, 2024.

  If the hotel does not receive the authorization form before June 10, 2024, you must provide a valid credit card at check-in.

  Please refer to the 2024 NLC Hotel Payments Contact Sheet found in your registration confirmation email to reach out to the listed contact for your hotel to receive the secure link for the credit card authorization form. You will need to provide your room reservation names and acknowledgement numbers.

• FINAL PAYMENT BY CHECK

  Checks must be mailed to arrive at your confirmed hotel prior to 14 days of your arrival or by June 10, 2024, to allow time for the check to clear. 

  Hotels cannot and will not accept a check as a form of payment upon check-in.

  • If the hotel receives the check less than 14 days of your arrival or after June 10, 2024, then a credit card will need to be provided at check-in. Once the check clears, you can initiate a request for reimbursement with the hotel to the credit card charged.
  • Please include your reservation confirmation numbers, attendee names, and arrival date with your check payment to ensure the check is applied to the correct reservation(s). Retain a copy of your check for your records.
  • The check should be mailed directly to your confirmed hotel. Refer to the 2024 NLC Hotel Payment Contact sheet in your registration confirmation email for the correct mailing address for your hotel. Housing payments sent to FCCLA will be returned to the sender.
  • If your school requires the hotel to be listed as a vendor, please email FCCLA@orchid.events to get the hotel’s W9.
