Conference Venue and Hotel

The 2018 DLF Forum will take place at the M Resort, just outside Las Vegas, Nevada, in the town of Henderson, from October 15-17, 2018. We will hold a pre-conference workshop and learning day (Learn@DLF) on October 14, NDSA‘s Digital Preservation 2018 on October 17-18, and other affiliated events over the course of the week.

Update: As of late August, the M Resort is completely sold out. DLF Forum attendees may wish to phone the M periodically, in case a cancellation has opened up a room, but we recommend browsing the hotels at Visit Las Vegas for further options.

Shuttles

The M Resort runs a shuttle service to and from their sister property, the Tropicana, in the afternoons.

DLF will also be offering a shuttle service between the Tropicana, South Point, and the M on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

We’ve heard from many colleagues who are excited about the venue, but know that, for some, Las Vegas can be a difficult place. DLF values the participation and well-being of every attendee. We are, as always, committed to providing a safe, inclusive, nurturing, and respectful conference experience for everyone. As we note in our Code of Conduct, on-duty conference staff, identifiable by their name badges and white lanyards, will be available at conference social events as well as during the daily program and after hours, on call.

We’ve chosen a venue well off the Strip, and in the coming months, will work closely with our 2018 Inclusivity Committee on measures for the Vegas-wary, like a dedicated “Friends of Bill W.” space, lists of helpful resources, DLF wellness programming, and more.

As always, we will collect any accessibility and special accommodations requests you may have as part of our registration form, and keep you informed as to our progress in fulfulling them. If you have any questions about the venue before registering, feel free to contact us.

Notes on hotel accessibility are available on our Info for Attendees page.

Reservations

While space remains, guests can make reservations online at the M Resort as part of our conference room block by using this reservations web link. Alternatively, a reservation can be made calling the M Resort’s toll-free reservations line at (877) 673-7678 and mentioning the group code SDLF18. The base room rate is $170 per room per night during the DLF Forum and affiliated events (before taxes and incidentals).

As of late August, the M Resort is completely sold out. DLF Forum attendees may wish to phone the M periodically, in case a cancellation has opened up a room, but we recommend browsing the hotels at Visit Las Vegas for further options.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We’ve heard a number of reports that our membership is being contacted by the “Convention Housing Planners Corp” and organizations with a similar name. Members are then being:

– offered lower rates than the M Resort;
– asked for their credit card information; and/or
– told that the conference is out of rooms and that hotel rooms can only be booked through the caller’s agency.

Please be aware that this is a scam. The M Resort doesn’t solicit anyone, nor do they engage agency services to sell rooms on their behalf. And DLF has not and will never share your contact information with a third party.
