The Renaissance Montgomery Hotel is the Official headquarters hotel & location for the 2025 SEMC Annual Meeting

SEMC2025 Annual Meeting sessions and activities will take place at The Renaissance Montgomery Hotel (201 Talapoosa Street, (334) 481-5000) in Montgomery, Alabama with evening events hosted at Montgomery area cultural institutions. SEMC Annual Meetings are about connecting with colleagues, sharing ideas, and networking. We help facilitate these by contracting with a hotel for a discounted room block and centralizing meeting spaces - both of which require minimum financial thresholds to be met.

Staying in the official headquarters hotel makes connecting with colleagues easier and helps us keep the Annual Meeting affordable to attendees. Cut-off date for reservations is September 27, 2025 or when block is full, whichever comes first.

BEWARE: HOUSING PIRATES 

While housing pirates are nothing new, they are more prevalent now, as technology continues to make it easier to solicit attendees and exhibitors. These pirates may convince your people to give them a credit card and other sensitive information with promises of great rate room reservations they may or may not deliver. 

WHAT IS A HOUSING PIRATE? - There are different terms, but pirate seems to be the most recognized. The pirates obtain attendee/exhibitor lists and directly solicit them claiming to be the “housing provider” for your event. In some cases, the pirates secure room blocks from hotels with low rates who are not part of the contracted room block, potentially creating an attrition situation with those contracted.

The Renaissance Montgomery Hotel is the official hotel reservation company for SEMC2025. If another company contacts you, please contact Zinnia Willits at zwillits@semcdirect.net  immediately. SEMC works to prevent the unauthorized solicitation of the SEMC2025 exhibitors and attendees and will pursue these companies to prevent further contact.
