The 2018 Sarasota Design Conference will take place at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Sarasota once again.  The staff at the Hyatt take great care of us and help make the conference wonderful. 

We have negotiated special rates for conference attendees at various hotels in order to give you and your family a wider choice.  We encourage you to stay and enjoy a long weekend whichever hotel you choose. 


Allocated rooms have been sold out. We encourage you to make reservations at the other venues listed below that have offered special conference rates.

Enjoy the shortest travel distance to the conference (thus lowest carbon footprint) with shuttle service to the beach.  This special offer includes:

  • ·         Self parking
  • ·         Two bottles of water daily in guestroom
  • ·         Use of hotel business center
  • ·         Daily cold towels/popsicles at poolside
  • ·         Use of pool toys including water floats, snorkel, fins and mask
  • ·         Poolside activities
  • ·         Watersports including kayaking, paddle boarding and paddle boating
  • ·         Scheduled shuttle service to/from St. Armand's Circle and downtown
  • ·         Scheduled shuttle daily to Lido Beach

 Bring your family and enjoy what Sarasota has to offer!



For those of you who indicated on the SDC2016 survey that you wished to stay on the beach – this is for you! Located directly across the street from Lido Beach here you can enjoy the beach AND the conference.  Please note, the Holiday Inn does not provide transportation to the Hyatt but we are working on arranging a shuttle service.
