The Boca Raton

FIA has reserved a block of rooms at The Boca Raton. You must register for the conference before you may book your room. Only one room may be booked per conference registration.

The instructions to complete a hotel reservation will be in your registration confirmation. You must provide your conference registration confirmation number in order to complete your room reservation at the resort.

Please note: The Boca Raton has introduced a policy where only conference attendees are allowed to take advantage of the room block. If you intend to bring guests, partners or family members to the resort, and they are not staying in your room, their room(s) must be booked outside of the room block and will not be eligible for the conference room rate.

Rates are quoted exclusive of applicable state and local taxes, occupancy, service, (currently 26.4%) and/or other resort specific fees (currently $40.00) The cut-off date for the group rate is February 12, 2023. Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that once the block is sold out, the resort's market price applies regardless of the date of booking and that some rate categories sell out faster than others.

Room types available & current pricing in the conference room block:

• Yacht Club Rooms & Suites 
• Tower Rooms & Suites

Make sure to confirm all hotel room cancellation policies and forfeiture of deposits directly with the resort when booking your reservation.
