Meeting No Shows and Late Room Reservation Cancellations

NMHC prides itself on bringing the leading apartment industry executives to our membership meetings. As part of your membership benefit, we’ve also made this event free to attend.

Unfortunately, by not charging a fee, we have found that a number of members automatically register for the meeting and book hotel rooms without knowing whether their schedules allow them to actually attend. The result is there are many rooms/reservation cancellations right before the meeting. This has a large financial impact for us.

We kindly ask that you (and your assistant) not automatically book registrations/rooms for these meetings unless you are reasonably sure that you’ll be able to attend.

The Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is approximately 16.5 miles from O'Hare International Airport and approximately 13.5 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport. Those arriving by air have the following alternatives for ground transportation:
