Join us at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona, for CFA’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. CFA has secured a dedicated room block for this event. We strongly encourage attendees to reserve early, as availability within the room block is limited. Once the block is full, additional accommodations may need to be made outside of the host hotel. All attendees, including gala guests and sponsor participants, are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. CFA will not be booking rooms on behalf of attendees. How to Book All room reservations must be made directly through the CFA-exclusive hotel portal. The portal supports reservations with arrivals beginning Thursday, October 8 and departures through Sunday, October 11. If you plan to stay outside of these dates, the portal will not accommodate your reservation. In that case, please contact Megan Haan at Megan.Haan@marriott.com for assistance. |
