As long as you included the purchase order number on the registration form TASB does not need a copy of the purchase order. We will invoice on the number so if you make any changes to registrations, be sure you change the totals on the same number.

If you need to cancel your registration, email registrar@tasb.org. Please note the cancellation policy below. 

Registration orders placed online require a credit card payment or a purchase order can be used.

Invoices are mailed every Friday for registrations paid by purchase order. Please wait until invoices are received before sending a check payment so that the TASB invoice number can be referenced. Electronic copies of invoices can be emailed upon request.

Refunds for cancelled registrations will be processed in the same manner as the original payment. Credit card refunds will be made within two weeks after the cancellation is submitted. Check refunds will be processed within 30 days after the event.

A balance due will not prevent admittance for any registrant.

Cancellation

2. After 14 days before the event, no refunds will be provided, but substitutions will be permitted for eligible persons.

New this year!

You will now receive the link to book housing for attendees from within the registration confirmation email. Register your attendees for the conference first, and then find the housing link within the confirmation.

To receive the best housing rate, register by Tuesday, May 24, 2022!

After you have registered, you will receive a confirmation with a link to secure housing. You must register for SLI before you can book your hotel. 

TASB reserved the best selection of hotels at the best available rates in both San Antonio and Fort Worth. 

Convention Housing Management (CHM) is the official SLI housing coordinator for 2022.

Housing opened on Tuesday, April 26 at 9 a.m.

Contact CHM with any questions about hotel rooms: 800.563.6493 or sli@chmrooms.com

TASB highly recommends that you confirm as many of your attendees as possible prior to submitting your conference registration(s) and booking hotel rooms to avoid cancellation fees.

When you reserve more rooms than you require, others may need to be put on a waitlist until you release your extra rooms. This is why TASB enforces the Deposit Deadline.

The deposit of one night’s room and tax is due to CHM on or before May 11, 2022. 

When you complete your SLI hotel request, you immediately receive an email acknowledging receipt of your request from sli@chmrooms.com. Be sure to keep your reservation acknowledgment as it contains important information, including your check-in and check-out dates, the cancelation penalty deadlines, and deposit information.

In early June, we send our reservation list to the hotels. When the hotel receives and processes your reservation, you receive a confirmation e-mail from CHM <sli@chmrooms.com> that contains your hotel confirmation number.

Please do not panic. SLI Housing begins accepting reservations in April, but we do not send our reservations to the hotels until much closer to the event.

This allows Convention Housing Management (CHM) and TASB to manage the reservations, replace canceled rooms with people on the waitlist and ensure the list that is sent to the hotel is the most accurate.

All changes and cancellations should come through CHM until Friday, June 10 for San Antonio and Fort Worth.
