ASHA's housing reservation service for the 2020 ASHA Convention in San Diego will open on Monday, August 3, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time. Information about ASHA's official San Diego hotels will be posted in April.

If you need any assistance, please contact our official housing provider, Spargo, Inc. (877-585-6005; ashahousing@spargoinc.com). Customer service hours are 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. (Eastern Time), Monday–Friday.

Why Book a Room Through ASHA?

Both Convention attendees and the association benefit when you book a hotel room through ASHA. Here's how:

• Convention attendees staying at official ASHA hotels can use ASHA's convenient shuttle service.
• ASHA is able to negotiate lower room rates at a range of quality hotels.
• ASHA hotel contracts protect you, and we can provide assistance if problems arise with your reservation.
• Filling room blocks allows ASHA to secure competitive rates when negotiating with hotels in future Convention cities. ASHA can demonstrate that the association meets its obligations with hotels, which assures hotels that contracting with ASHA will be mutually agreeable.

If you find a lower rate at a hotel in our block than what we offer, please contact ASHA's housing provider (ashahousing@jspargo.com).

Unauthorized Housing Providers

Sometimes, ASHA is alerted that an unauthorized housing company is contacting our exhibitors or attendees to inform them that they can offer less expensive room rates at hotels in our block. Spargo, Inc. is the only official housing company for ASHA. If you receive a call or e-mail from any company that is not our official housing provider, please contact us immediately at convention@asha.org.

ADA Hotel Rooms

All official ASHA Convention hotels comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. If you need an accessible hotel room, please complete the reservation process online and select "Handicap Accessible" at the step where you may indicate room preferences. A representative from ASHA's housing company will contact you to discuss your room arrangements. Members are also welcome to contact Customer Service ( ashahousing@spargoinc.com; 877-585-6005 or 703-449-6418) if they wish to discuss their needs with someone directly. Read about accessibility at ASHA's live events for more information about reasonable requests for accommodations.
