Please be aware of fraudulent accommodation providers, commonly known as “Room Poachers”, offering “AFM Rates”.

No travel agent or booking site is affiliated with AFM.

No travel agent can offer official “AFM rates” at any hotel.

Claims by travel agents or booking sites about affiliation with AFM are NOT TRUE.

Room Poachers may not deliver on promises to customers. It is common at check-in to be presented with hidden fees or for the reservation to prove nonexistent.

Parking

There are numerous public parking lots in Century City within very close proximity to the Fairmont Century Plaza. AFM has secured discounted parking rates at the Westfield Century City Mall, offering pricing significantly lower than the average rates in the area.

Due to extremely limited valet parking at the Fairmont, we strongly encourage attendees to take advantage of the AFM parking options at the Westfield Century City Mall.

AFM Parking Pass

Special discounted parking passes have been arranged with the Westfield Century City Mall exclusively for registered AFM participants. Pre-ordered parking passes can be picked up along with your AFM badge.

Important: Registration for Parking Passes opens June 23 and close October 16 — no passes will be available after this date.

Additional details are provided in the recommended AFM parking locations and instructions.
