Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference in Jackson?
For a large meeting or corporate event, start booking guest rooms at least three to six months ahead, especially if you need a room block. Popular dates fill quickly, and early booking gives you the best selection and rates. If your group needs nine or more rooms, Engine Groups can handle the block; for eight or fewer, you can book directly through Engine.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through Engine's platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
What should I look for in a hotel when planning a big event in Jackson?
Look for properties with enough meeting space, guest-room capacity, and on-site amenities to support your group. For example, the Hilton Jackson offers a largest event space of about 8,100 square feet and can accommodate up to 1,200 people across 31 event spaces, with 276 guest rooms. The Westin Jackson has a largest space of about 6,500 square feet, seating up to 700, with 203 rooms. Match the hotel's footprint to your group's size and agenda.
What's the best way to get to Jackson for a conference?
Most attendees fly into the airport serving Jackson, which is about ten miles from downtown. Ground transportation, rideshare, and rental cars are all available. If you want to stay close to the airport to simplify arrivals and departures, several hotels in the area offer meeting space and can be booked through Engine.
Can Engine help me with both the guest rooms and the meeting space for my event?
Yes. For the guest-room side, Engine Groups handles blocks of nine or more rooms, and you can book eight or fewer self-serve. For the meeting and event space, you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, which gives you access to thousands of venues across the U.S. That way, you can source both parts of your conference through one platform.
