The CBTU Convention brings together union members from across the United States to discuss important labor issues.

The hotel reservation cutoff date is April 24, 2026. A one-night credit card deposit is required at the time of booking and is refundable if cancelled by April 15, 2026. After the cutoff date, reservations will be accepted based on availability and subject to the hotel’s prevailing rate,” according to organizers.
