Registration and Hotels
Register for the convention by using the appropriate link below. You can also join the MLA or renew your membership on the convention registration form. Attendees who join the MLA will save more than $100 on the cost of regular nonmember registration.
Please make sure that your email is set up to receive messages from the MLA domain (mla.org); this will allow you to receive the registration and hotel confirmation emails.
Housing
You must be registered for the convention to make hotel reservations through the official housing service, Convention Management Resources (CMR). To reserve a hotel room, use the link provided on your registration confirmation page or in your confirmation email. CMR is the only official housing agent for the MLA Annual Convention in Philadelphia. Reservations made through any agency other than CMR cannot be guaranteed by the MLA; other agencies may impose additional fees, charge higher room rates than those the MLA offers to convention participants, or fail to reserve a hotel room. Please use the MLA hotel reservation system to avoid any confusion or additional charges. For further information and assistance, visit the MLA Hotel Support Center or call MLA housing at 888 644-2282 or, for international callers, 415 979-2266. If you are contacted by any agency other than CMR, please notify us at mla.cmrushelp.com.
