2026 Teacher Education Assembly Hotel and Reservation Information

PAC-TE's fall conference is held in person at the Best Western Premier The Hotel & Conference Center, 800 E Park Dr., Harrisburg, PA 17111.  Our room block has been sold out, however we have fabulous news from a neighboring hotel.

The Hampton Inn Harrisburg East, just one block from our venue, has agreed to a discounted price of $125 per night for an overflow block of rooms. Once they are gone, any available rooms revert to the current market price. Here is a direct link to the reservation system at the Hampton Inn:  https://group.hamptoninn.com/fn4mic    We thank the Hampton Inn for coming alongside us in our time of need!  They asked us to share the following:
