The room block will be opening in April/May 2025.

Geothermal Rising has negotiated a special block specifically for our event attendees. All conference attendees should make every effort to stay at the official event hotel. Supporting the official hotel room block provides staff support to resolve hotel reservation disputes; ensures attendees receive all applicable discounts and materials; and assists GR in maintaining affordable, quality programming. 

Room rates vary ($155 - $195 plus tax and the discounted resort fee, per night) depending on the type of room selected.
