CONFERENCE HOUSING
Online Housing Reservation System
(Housing will close on February 24, 2010!)

Over 1,200 rooms have been reserved for the 2010 IRC Conference.  Because of the large number of rooms needed each year, we utilize the assistance of the Housing Bureau at the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau.  Special room rates have been negotiated for you at each of these hotels/motels.  To obtain these special rates, reservations must be made through the Online Housing Reservation System.
