Do you offer a special rate at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort for the 29th Annual Effective Schools Conference? I’d love to attend but the hotel rate is pricey in addition to airfare, and fees.
Thanks

Our special group rate at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort is $169/night.

There are no other hotels within walking distance of the resort. However, there are several within a short driving distance, including the Chaparral Suites, Homewood Suites and a Holiday Inn Express. Since March is during the peak season, these other hotels may or may not be more economical choices.

Please let us know if we can help you in any other way. We’d love to see you there!
