Hotels for NATS Attendees

The following hotels have been contracted by NATS to provide affordable room rates during the conference. To ensure you receive the discounted rate, use the links provided below and/or the group code when making your reservation. Every hotel listed is within walking distance of the Knoxville Convention Center and has a stop at their hotel for the free Trolley Service that will take you to the Convention Center or the University of Tennessee.

Please note that the three hotels featured here are the official housing providers for the NATS 56th National Conference. NATS works directly with these hotels to establish a room block and best room rate for attendees and exhibitors. Reserving within this block assists in keeping registration costs as low as possible for everyone. Attendees, Students, and Exhibitors are encouraged to help support NATS by reserving your guest room with one of our Conference Hotels. Any other housing providers or hotel company that tries to solicit you are not approved by NATS and are not affiliated with us. Please be aware of this and notify us if this happens to you.
