RESERVE YOUR ROOM AT THE 

PALMER HOUSE, A HILTON HOTEL

FOR THE SSSP 75th ANNUAL MEETING

August 8-10, 2025

When booking your lodging for the 2025 Annual Meeting, you may find a variety of options, some at lower rates than the conference hotel. However, staying at the official SSSP conference hotel offers significant benefits – not just for you, but for the organization as a whole. The SSSP office often gets asked this question,

“Why should I stay at the conference hotel???
It’s cheaper for me to stay somewhere else.”

Reasons to Stay at the Palmer House

  • FIRST AND FOREMOST, it’s the center of all conference activities, maximizing networking and social interactions with fellow attendees. Staying at the conference hotel ensures you don’t miss out on important sessions and informal gatherings.
  • Staying in the hotel is convenient, allowing you to easily run back to your room to get something you forgot, drop off excess baggage, or simply take a quick break.
  • Some of the best conference connections happen in hallways, elevators, or common areas.
  • SSSP has negotiated the best available rate for the duration of the conference, along with added concessions and benefits for attendees.
  • When attendees book at the conference hotel, it helps SSSP meet its contractual commitments, avoiding costly penalties that could impact future events and membership benefits.

The following information is all you need to make your reservation. Please contact the Administrative Office if you need help.
