APEC has contracted discounted hotel rooms for APEC attendees. The registration confirmation email will contain links to the contracted hotels’ websites where rooms can be booked at the APEC rate. The APEC rate can only be obtained by booking through links from the registration confirmation email. Registration will open in Fall 2026.
The number of rooms at the APEC rates are limited and rooms at the APEC rate are expected to sell out. Those attending APEC 2027 are encouraged to register early and book their hotel rooms as quickly as possible after receiving the hotel links in the APEC registration confirmation email.

Hotel Scam Alert!
If you receive solicitations from any other vendors identifying themselves as an official APEC housing representative, they are NOT authorized to sell guest rooms for the event.
Hotel poachers will claim to be an APEC or IEEE “partner” or the “official housing company” and will sometimes ask that your room be paid in full, in advance. Room poachers often do not deliver on promises to attendees. When guests arrive, the reservations are often unavailable, or the hotels are far from the event location. Sometimes, hefty cancellation charges are billed to your credit card. Poachers often represent themselves as being affiliated with the conference by illegally using trademarked logos.
How to Avoid Hotel Poachers
APEC is the only authorized resource that provides attendees hotel reservation information for conference hotels.
Trust your instincts: If the room rate sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. If you receive an unsolicited call or email from any company that is not APEC, please obtain the name of the company and contact us immediately at apec@apec-conf.org.
