Capital Conference housing
Note: Housing is currently sold out! Please contact housing@ohioschoolboards.org for assistance in finding alternative housing options.
After you are registered for the conference, your district housing contact person will receive a confirmation email with housing codes and other information. Hotel reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis beginning on Sept. 12, at 9 a.m. EDT. To make reservations, use the link and unique housing code found in the district housing confirmation email.
The housing link will not be available on OSBA’s website. Housing reservations can only be made with your unique housing code to guarantee conference rates and must be made by Friday, Oct. 20.
Each reservation requires a credit card number to hold reserved rooms. After reservations are made, you will receive an acknowledgment number. Please note that this is not the same as a hotel confirmation number. Hotels will email hotel confirmation numbers one week prior to the conference.

Canceling hotel reservations
If you cancel your reservation at any time, your credit card will be charged a $100 cancellation fee for each room canceled. After Nov. 8, you will need to contact the hotel directly for any new reservations, modifications or cancellations. Failure to cancel a reservation by 5 p.m. on Nov. 8, failure to check in on the scheduled arrival date or an early departure will result in a one-night’s room and tax charge by the hotel.
Modifying hotel reservations
Reservations may be modified until noon on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Examples of modifications include:
- changing hotels,
- changing the names on the reservations,
- changing the dates of your stay.
These modifications can be completed without a $100 cancellation fee as long as the reservation is not canceled.
