Planning Your Trip
Everything you need to know to travel and attend the conference
As we prepare for our conference, NACTO and the City of Minneapolis Department of Public Works are in constant communication to plan a safe, inclusive, and supportive gathering. We’re deeply committed to attendee safety. Our Minneapolis partners are looking forward to welcoming the NACTO community and sharing their city and its resilience during a challenging moment.
As you decide whether to travel, please note that our standard cancellation policy provides full refunds through April 30, 2026. If you have more questions or other concerns, contact our team at events@nacto.org. We’ll do our best to answer all questions as fully as we can.
Venue
The conference is taking place at the Hilton Minneapolis at 1001 S Marquette Ave, Minneapolis, MN.

About our Venue and Hotel
We recognize that as participants plan their trips, there may be uncertainty about traveling to Minneapolis and where to stay. We are aware of concerns and calls to boycott Hilton hotels. We hope this information is helpful in making your decision on where to stay.
NACTO secures our event venue and hotel room block well in advance of our conference to ensure adequate, centrally located space for the gathering. NACTO signed the binding contract for the Hilton in June 2025.
All unsold rooms in our block directly affect NACTO’s finances. NACTO—not the Hilton—assumes all costs for any unused rooms or venue cancellations.
The Hilton Minneapolis is staffed by workers represented by Unite Here! Local 17, an affiliate of the AFL-CIO. Most workers represented by Unite Here! Local 17 are immigrants and/or people of color. See a full list of hotels represented by the union
