Commodities Conference

Omni Houston Hotel 

The Commodities Conference has a new location! 

Omni Houston
4 Riverway
Houston, TX 77056

FIA has reserved a block of rooms at the hotel; these rooms have been set aside for registered conference attendees only! Reservations found held under names not registered for the conference may have their rates adjusted to the current market price.

Our conference rate is $239 for a single or double occupancy room, exclusive of applicable state and local taxes currently 17%, plus TX Recovery Fee. The cut-off date for the conference room block rate is September 12, 2025 or until sold out, whichever comes first. Please note that once the block is sold out, the hotel’s market price applies regardless of the date of booking.

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

The hotel room block reservation link is available in the registration confirmation email.

Cancellations/Substitutions

Notice of cancellations must be received in writing on or before September 5, 2025, and will be subject to a $100 administrative fee. No refunds will be made after September 5, 2025. FIA does not reimburse registration fees for inclement weather, or attendee travel delays/cancellations that prevent attendees from traveling to the event. These circumstances are outside of FIA's control.

Substitutions/transfers may be made at any time without penalty, but must align with the correct registration category for the new registrant. For instance, if a non-member is substituted for a member, the difference in price will be applied. Conversely, if a member is substituted for a non-member, the difference in price will be applied. Pricing will be based on the date of the original registration.

Please email Member Services for cancellations or substitutions.

COVID Protocols

FIA takes the health and wellbeing of event attendees and staff seriously. We ask that you do not travel to or attend the event if you have tested positive for Covid or have experienced any Covid symptoms in the last five days before the event. If you develop Covid symptoms or test positive for Covid during the event, we ask that you leave the event venue as soon as possible.

We encourage attendees to follow good hygiene practices, such as using hand sanitizer, which will be made available throughout the event venue, and washing hands regularly.

Privacy Policy

FIA enforces robust policies to safeguard the personal information that is entrusted to us by FIA event registrants and the broader FIA community. We encourage you to review our Privacy Statement. There are a few aspects of our privacy policies that we would like to highlight in connection with the event. 

FIA maintains delegate lists for each of our events. The delegate lists contain the name, title, firm and/or office location of the event registrants. FIA may share the delegate list with current or prospective attendees, sponsors, and/or exhibitors, including through our mobile event app, as applicable. Typically we find that attendees want to be included on the delegate list to realize the full networking benefits of our events. If you registered on our website for the event, you were prompted to indicate whether you wanted to be included on the delegate list. If another person registered you for the event – for example, through FIA’s group registration process – FIA prompted that person to indicate whether to include you on the delegate list. We only include individuals on the delegate list where an affirmative indication has been made. You may contact us to check whether you are included on the delegate list and/or change your preference.

FIA never sells its delegate lists to third parties and will never contact you offering to sell such information. We regret that you may become the target of unsolicited offers from third parties purporting to have an FIA delegate list for sale. Sometimes the third parties claim to be affiliated or suggest an affiliation with FIA. These offers and third parties are not sanctioned by FIA.  We appreciate your assistance in bringing them to our attention. 

Filming, Videotaping and Recording Policy

No portion of this event may be filmed, videotaped or otherwise recorded for posting or distribution without prior authorization from FIA. Further, by registering for this program, you consent to FIA’s use, reproduction, editing, publishing and distribution of any photographs, videos and other recordings that FIA or its designated photographer may take of registrants and attendees during the program. 

This event is closed to the press.
