PMC 2026 Hotel Information
We’re returning to the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City for PMC 2026!
Our exclusive PMC hotel room block at the Hilton is completely booked and the hotel is currently sold out for the nights of October 7 and 8. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
While PMA does not have additional room blocks at nearby hotels, click the link below to explore several options close to the Hilton that may still have availability.
You may also want to search hotels in Studio City, North Hollywood, Hollywood, or Burbank, all of which are a relatively short rideshare from the Hilton.
Because October is a busy time in the Universal City area, we recommend booking as soon as possible. Rates and availability at these hotels are not managed by PMA and may change.
