To ensure your participation is as productive and seamless as possible, provided below are a few important details unique to this year’s Conference.

Parking, Hotel Check-In & Luggage Storage
The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel is a valet-only facility, which means you will want to bring your luggage inside the hotel when you arrive. Recognizing that the hotel’s usual check-in time is 4 p.m., the ACCA staff continues to work with the hotel to ensure as many rooms as possible are available prior to the Conference’s 12:45 p.m. start. In case your room is not available when you arrive, the ACCA staff has made arrangements for you to store your luggage in Leinkauf, located on the hotel's 2nd Floor near the General Session meeting room.

Reception Transportation, Refreshments & Battleship Tours
This year’s Opening Reception will be held Monday evening at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park from 5:30 to 9:00 and will be open to Conference registrants and their paid guests only.

If you plan to participate in the reception, we encourage you to ride one of the buses that will shuttle attendees to and from the reception site from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Please note that you will have to present your Conference name badge in order to ride the bus, which will load on the North Water Street side of the Battle House Hotel. While on the bus, you will receive drink tickets for ordering two alcoholic beverages during the reception; no ticket will be needed for non-alcoholic beverages. And finally, after arriving at the Park, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to tour the Battleship anytime before 8 p.m.

We hope you will choose to join us for an exciting evening of networking with colleagues – complete with a DJ, karaoke and photo booth. More details on this year's reception can be found here.

We wish you safe travels to Mobile and look forward to seeing you very soon!
