The Florida Hotel & Conference Center
Make your hotel reservations early.
It is our experience the hotel rooms will sell out early.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee you a room
closer to the conference dates.
The room block will be held until 5:00 PM on May 20th, 2026.
After this date, all rooms will revert to back to
The Florida Hotel and Conference Center for general sale.
Mammogram Scans
On Saturday, June 20th, 2026, the Mammogram Mobile will be stationed in The Florida Hotel and Conference Center parking lot. Schedule your mammogram when you are not attending workshops at the Hands Up Conference.
They are bringing advanced 3D mammography technology to the women attending the conference. All insurance plans are accepted, however for women without insurance you may still get screened. The cost for a mammogram screening for women who are uninsured is $180.00.
Schedule your appointment: https://www.3dmobilemammography.com/ This is a great opportunity for early detection and preventive care.

Important Parking Update – Please Read Carefully!
The parking rules have changed over the years, and unfortunately, enforcement has become very strict.
Do NOT park in the areas marked with a red “no parking” in the attached photo — especially along the side near Sears. Vehicles parked in these areas WILL BE TOWED without warning.
Important Reminder:
Neither the Hands Up Conference nor The Florida Hotel is responsible for any towing fees, fines, or alternative transportation arrangements due to improper parking. Please plan accordingly and park only in the approved areas. We want your weekend to be smooth and stress-free!
