The Official Hotel Block for DEMA Show 2022 is Now Open
**Block Offers Exclusive Savings and Benefits for DEMA Show 2022 Attendees and Exhibitors***
The DEMA Show Hotel Block is officially open! To help dive industry professionals keep their planning efforts on track for this year’s annual trade-only event for the Diving Industry, DEMA has contracted with two hotels convenient to the Orange County Convention Center. By booking in DEMA’s hotel block the entire industry saves, as DEMA is able to use the occupation data to better negotiate convention center rates, nearby hotel block rates and transportation in any city, to everyone’s benefit. Start your planning for the Show, taking place November 1-4 in Orlando, FL, by booking your room reservation in the DEMA Show Hotel Block, featuring exclusive exhibitor and attendee rates and benefits.
DEMA Show will again feature the Rosen Centre Hotel as this year’s Host Hotel. The Rosen Centre is conveniently located within walking distance of Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center – home to DEMA Show 2022. Those booking in DEMA’s block at the Rosen Centre will receive special rates at the Rosen Centre of $215 per night* (single/double rooms plus 13.38% tax). Those booking at the Rosen Centre will benefit from an elevated experience.

Other specially-priced DEMA hotel block rooms will also be available at the Days Inn for $114/night (single/double room plus 13.38% tax).
Shuttle bus service will be available to those booking within the official hotel block through DEMAShow.com. Both hotels are also nearby and within walking distance to the South halls.
Please advise that there is another large show staging in Orlando during our show dates. Hotel accommodations will be limited. Be sure to book EARLY to ensure you get a room and the best rates.
A SPECIAL CAUTION! DEMA would like to caution attendees and exhibitors to be wary when booking accommodations through unauthorized third-party vendors claiming to work with DEMA Show. These unauthorized vendors may offer what appears to be a lower rate than the official DEMA block rate, but room reservations may be offered at significantly lower quality and may not be available for the duration of your planned stay. Also, cancellation policies with these re-sellers are often harsh and unforgiving, resulting in loss of fees or other penalties. Booking within the official DEMA Hotel Block also allows DEMA to negotiate exclusive rates for DEMA Show attendees and exhibitors in the locations most convenient to the convention center. Help DEMA keep everyone’s hotel costs down for DEMA Show by booking within DEMA’s official hotel block.
