This year for AC&C, we will be in one hotel, the Renaissance Framingham Hotel & Conference Center. This is the same hotel as last year, with a new name.
At the Renaissance Framingham Hotel, our contracted room rate is $161/night plus 11.7% state and local taxes (total = $179.84/night) for both the King and Queen/Queen rooms. Suites are also available for $259/night plus 11.7% state and local taxes (total = $289.30). This includes on-site parking and Wi-Fi. These rooms do not include breakfast.
A few things to note:
- All Harmony, Inc. members attending AC&C must have their name on a convention hotel reservation, per Area 2 policy, to avoid paying the Fair Share Assessment Fee (one night’s hotel room cost) before they can pick up their AEP.
- Please ensure, when booking your room that the names of all roommates are included in the reservation. See the instructions below on adding additional people to your room.
- Whenever possible, make sure the name on the room matches the name on your AEP.
- Our Room blocks and convention rates at both hotels are in effect until 5 p.m. on March 27, 2026. After that date, the convention rates and rooms may not be available.
- The check-in time is 3 p.m. The check-out time is 12 p.m.
- Please do NOT book your room with hotel points, as your room will not be in our hotel block or count towards our required number of contracted rooms.
