When should I get to Birmingham?

If you are attending our pre-convention event — a trip to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the 16th Street Baptist Church  — it will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, thus arriving sometime on Thursday is ideal. Those close enough to drive to Birmingham may be able to drive in very early on Friday morning, but it is unlikely a flight will land in Birmingham early enough on Friday morning to make it for the trip.

If you are not attending our pre-convention event, being in the hotel and ready for activities by

5 p.m. is the goal. Landing by 3 p.m., to allow for travel from the airport to the hotel, check in

and preparing for the evening, is advisable.

When should my departing flight leave?

The convention closes at lunchtime on Sunday; booking a morning flight out of Birmingham will

result in missing the final day of convention content.

How can I get from the airport to the convention site?

You can get to the hotel from the airport by booking a shuttle service, cabs, or the ridesharing

apps consistently service the Birmingham airport, which is just 5 miles from The Westin

Birmingham. Visit here for more information regarding to ground transportation from the

Birmingham Airport.

What is the dress code?

All events at the 2022 National Convention will be held under a business casual dress code with

the exception of our Friday night dinner and opening reception at TopGolf, where the dress

code will be casual. There will also be opportunities for exercise where causal wear is

encouraged.

What meals are provided while at the convention?

A box lunch on Friday will be included for attendees on the pre-convention trip. Convention

registration includes dinner Friday night, a continental breakfast on Saturday, lunch on

Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. Saturday evening’s dinner is more independent, with several

restaurants within a couple of blocks of the hotel to choose from.

What is the cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel your registration before the end of the regular registration period on Aug. 15, you will receive a refund of 50% of what you paid. After that date, no refunds, no exceptions. For hotel cancellations, go directly to The Westin Birmingham.
