Only AHA&#8217;s official housing service, Maritz, can book rooms at the AHA&#8217;s discounted rate. Unfortunately, unscrupulous providers sometimes claim to provide housing for meetings and conventions when they are in no way affiliated with the sponsoring organization. This practice is a scam that attendees should be aware of in order to avoid passing on personal or financial information. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please notify us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:annualmeeting@historians.org\">annualmeeting@historians.org<\/a> if you are contacted by any company claiming to provide housing for the AHA.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing The 2026 annual meeting will be held at the Hilton Chicago (hdqrs.), 720 S.
