Hotel Reservations for IMEC 2027 are now open! The Peoria Convention & Visitors Bureau is using an online portal to manage housing reservations. This will provide you with up-to-date and detailed information on availability, amenities, pricing and location for participating accommodations. Please click the button below to book through this block - this housing block is for clinicians, invited performing ensembles, exhibitors and general attendees (no group code needed to search and reserve).
A few downtown Peoria and East Peoria hotels are held for Conference, Volunteers, Staff and All-State Participating Students/Chaperones, but will not be available for general reservations. This has been done to ease the burden of travel on the educator volunteers and their students. We appreciate your support of these policies and procedures!
