Official Petfood Forum Room blocks are now SOLD OUT.
🔔 Additional area hotel options are listed below.
Rooms are available to registered Petfood Forum attendees and exhibitors on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high demand at our event hotels, only pre-registered attendees and exhibitors of Petfood Forum 2026 and Petfood Essentials may reserve hotel rooms within the official room blocks.
In order to ensure the best possible rate and room availability, all reservations require a two-night, non-refundable deposit, per room, upon reservation. If reserving rooms outside of the event dates, call the hotel directly to inquire about availability.
Please Be Aware
We do not affiliate with anyone that conducts telephone or email solicitations for booking hotels and do not recommend you arrange your hotel reservations with any of those groups.
Please note that Petfood Forum does not sell, rent or share the attendee database, or conduct phone outreach to help book hotel room reservations. Impersonation scams like hotel reservation scams and email list sale scams can be reported to the FTC.
