Hotel Room Reservation
New this year, MWEA has secured discounted group rates at two different hotels, including the 2023 conference location, the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and the nearby (within walking distance) Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Grand Rapids Hotel to select from. At the time of reservation, be sure to indicate that you are with the MWEA group to receive the discounted group rate. Reservations for the discounted group rates are limited and based on a first-come-first-serve basis and, therefore, cannot be guaranteed.
To receive the discounted group rates, hotel reservations must be made directly with the applicable hotel by Monday, May 22, 2023.
