Hotel and travel

Hotel information

Hotel booking for Animal Care Expo 2027 will open in Fall 2026.

Expo 2027 will offer a dedicated host hotel room block at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, providing attendees with convenient access to all conference activities.  The negotiated group rate is $279 per night, inclusive of the nightly resort fee.

We strongly encourage booking within the official Expo room block using the provided reservation link.  Doing so ensures you receive the negotiated group rate, protects you from unauthorized third-party booking agencies, and keeps you within the main conference environment- making it easier to attend sessions, network, and full participate in the event.

Humane World for Animals works to keep Animal Care Expo affordable by securing competitive hotel rates and maximizing registration value.  Booking within the official hotel block also helps support Expo 2027 and future events by helping us meet contracted commitments, which in turn helps keep overall costs manageable for attendees.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

WARNING: Beware of any unsolicited information from housing agencies or individuals misrepresenting that they are reserving rooms on behalf of Humane World for Animals or Animal Care Expo.

Companies have been known to solicit our participants and exhibitors with offers of lower rates or nonexistent inventory of hotel rooms. Often referred to as "housing pirates" or "housing bandits," they will phone or email participants and exhibitors of events such as Animal Care Expo. It is important to remember these companies are falsely claiming to be affiliated with Animal Care Expo or Humane World for Animals. To protect yourself against these scams, book only using the housing link on the page. Please report any suspicious solicitations, including phone number, email address or web link to expo@humaneworld.org.
