Hotel reservations will open in June 2024.
Big Sky offers accommodations starting at $245 per night, plus 22.8% tax. The CVSA hotel rate will be available in June until Saturday, Aug. 17 or until the room block sells out. After Aug. 17, all unreserved rooms will be released to the general public.
At the time of reservation, guests will be charged a $1 deposit. 14 days prior to arrival, guests will be charged a deposit equal to one (1) nights’ stay. Note, if you need to cancel your hotel reservation, you must do so 14 days prior to arrival date to avoid cancellation fees. Cancellation fees equal the cost of one nights stay plus tax.
Big Sky has a mix of hotel, condo, and cabin housing. If you are interested in sharing a condo or cabin with other attendees from your jurisdiction (each person will have their own bedroom) please email Kristin Yednock.
Hotel accommodations are “first come, first served” and may sell out at any time.
Please note, hotel rooms are restricted to those who have registered, or intend to register, for the Annual Conference and Exhibition. Further, CVSA prohibits the act of “suitcasing,” which is being in the hotel or conference space with the intention of soliciting business without registering for the conference and/or exhibit booth.
Note: CVSA works only with the official accommodations providers listed on the event website and does not endorse the use of any third-party booking companies. Be aware of the malicious practice of room poaching where third-party companies portray themselves as being associated with an event to solicit attendees for room reservations. This practice can not only be fraudulent but also has the potential to expose the association to penalties and cause increased room rates for future meetings.
