Join STEM Society Professionals at the Raleigh Marriott City Center
ACCESSE26 Hotel Information
CESSE has secured a limited number of sleeping rooms at a special discounted rate at the Raleigh Marriott City Center, the official venue hotel for ACCESSE 2026. To receive the discounted rate, make your reservations early and indicate that you are attending the CESSE ACCESSE Meeting.
Discounted rates are available until June 11, 2026, or until the room block is filled—whichever comes first. After that time, availability will be limited and higher rates may apply.
To attend all conference programming, attendees are encouraged to book accommodations for the full meeting dates. Booking within CESSE’s official room block ensures the best rates, flexible policies, and a seamless stay.

Important Reminder About Booking
You may receive phone calls, emails, or see websites from unaffiliated organizations claiming to act on behalf of CESSE. These companies are not approved housing providers. If you book outside the CESSE room block, CESSE cannot assist with issues that may arise. Booking with unauthorized providers places you at risk of:
- Additional or hidden fees
- Strict or unfavorable cancellation policies
- Lower-quality rooms
- Lost or nonexistent reservations
To support a high-quality event experience, please reserve housing only using the official CESSE hotel information listed below.
