AGB has secured a room block for Board Professionals Conference attendees at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile at the group rate of $229 per night, exclusive of 17.4% taxes. Once you have registered for the conference, you will receive a hotel reservation link in your meeting registration confirmation. To receive the group rate, reservations must be made online through the reservation link received. Reservations should be made in the name of the person registered for the 2025 Board Professionals Conference. Multiple reservations under the same name will not be accepted.
The deadline for reserving a room at the group rate is February 28, 2025, at 5:00 PM CT.
For any rooming questions, please reach out to AGB’s event planner, Christy Andrews. She can be reached via phone at 800-878-4018 or via email at AGBevents@helmsbriscoe.com, Monday through Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET.
Warning! Beware of unauthorized housing companies (hotel “poachers”) that contact individuals and offer cheaper rates. This practice, also known as “room pirating,” is a scam that all convention attendees should be aware of in order to avoid passing along personal and financial information. Please only go through the link provided by AGB in your confirmation receipt to make your reservation in the AGB room block. Note: No one from our organization will call you to make your reservation. Hotel poachers will claim to be an AGB partner or the “official housing company” and will sometimes ask that your room be paid in full, up front.
