If you’re planning to attend the 2026 Big I Maryland Annual Conference & Showcase, where you stay can make a big difference in your overall experience.
The Hyatt Place Kent Narrows & Marina isn’t just the conference venue. It’s where conversations continue after sessions end, new connections are made, and attendees have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the conference experience.
Here are five reasons to reserve your room before the conference room block closes on July 25.
1. You’re Steps Away From Everything
When you stay at the conference hotel, you’re only a short walk from educational sessions, networking opportunities, the Cruise & Connect Showcase, and evening events.
Instead of worrying about traffic or parking throughout the day, you can simply focus on enjoying the conference and making the most of every opportunity.
2. Network Beyond the Sessions
Some of the best conversations happen outside the meeting rooms.
Whether you’re grabbing breakfast before the day’s first session, chatting with fellow attendees in the lobby, or connecting after the day’s events, staying at the conference hotel creates more opportunities to build meaningful professional relationships.
3. Enjoy Everything Kent Narrows Has to Offer
The Hyatt Place Kent Narrows & Marina is located along Maryland’s beautiful Eastern Shore, offering scenic waterfront views, local restaurants, and a relaxing atmosphere.
It’s the perfect setting to recharge while enjoying everything the area has to offer.
4. Maximize Your Conference Experience
Without worrying about commuting back and forth each day, you’ll have more time to visit the Cruise & Connect Showcase, attend networking events, and connect with speakers, vendors, and fellow attendees.
Every extra conversation can lead to a new idea, resource, or professional connection.
5. It’s Easy and Convenient
Once you’ve registered for the conference, hotel booking information is included in your registration confirmation email, making it simple to reserve your room within the conference room block.
Just remember, the room block closes on Saturday, July 25, so be sure to reserve your room before the deadline.
