Friends, booking a room at the Hilton Chicago with the MMLA member discount for the 2024 Convention is still possible! These bookings help the MMLA meet its "block" of convention participants staying at the hotel, and the Hilton has graciously extended the deadline for us until tomorrow night. There are so many perks to staying at the Convention venue: convenience, extra networking time, and staying out of the cold, to name a few. If you are at all interested in staying at the Convention venue, the luxurious Hilton Chicago Hotel, head to our website to book a room: https://www.midwest-mla.org/convention
