• Complimentary access to the hotel’s fitness center
• No resort/destination fees
• Protection in the event the hotel oversells its rooms
• And more

Why shouldn’t we reserve our hotel room directly with the hotel or a discount internet provider?
The number of guest rooms reserved by ASHP attendees and exhibitors determines whether or not the meeting qualifies as a "citywide" convention. Fulfilling this standard requirement enables us to hold our meeting in the cities that meet our space, location, and rate criteria. It also allows us to receive all of the benefits and services reserved for citywide conventions and provided by the hotels and local Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Here are several other extremely important reasons for you to reserve your hotel room through ASHP:

• You’ll have peace of mind that you made a reservation at an official ASHP hotel at the discounted ASHP rate.
• You’ll be provided with complimentary access to the internet in your hotel guest room.
• In the event the hotel has oversold guest rooms, you’ll have protection.
• We can avoid financial penalties for not filling our room block commitments.
• We can negotiate lower and more favorable rates for future meetings (more rooms equals greater buying power and lower costs for everyone).

For these reasons, please reserve rooms through Orchid.Events, ASHP’s only official hotel reservation partner for Pharmacy Futures 2026.

What should I do if I can’t book all nights at my preferred hotel?
You may select to be waitlisted for those nights. If you select a waitlisted reservation, currently, one or more nights of your stay are unavailable. Orchid.Events is continually working with the hotels on room inventory, and there is a high probability they will obtain additional rooms for the waitlisted nights. Should your waitlisted reservation be confirmed, you will receive a new acknowledgment within five business days from Orchid.Events. If they are unable to clear your waitlisted reservation, Orchid.Events will contact you to discuss alternative accommodations.

If you are experiencing difficulty making your reservation, you may also call 1-877-505-0675 to speak with an Orchid.Events customer care representative. Orchid.Events is open Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. ET, excluding Federal Holidays.

I would like to extend my hotel stay and the dates are not available online?

I received an acknowledgment from Orchid.Events. Will I hear from the hotel directly?
