How can I book my hotel?

Be sure to use the official housing company for the Ocean City Resort Gift Expo, Connections Housing, to secure the lowest rates.

BUYER BEWARE! Connections Housing is the only approved, official housing vendor for the Ocean City Gift Show. We understand that unauthorized housing companies may be contacting you advertising cheaper rates and may imply or claim an affiliation with the show or Urban Expositions. Unfortunately, some past attendees and exhibitors have fallen prey to these companies and they have either: lost significant deposits, been relocated with little or no warning, have not had the guest rooms they thought they had booked, or have not received reservations at the hotel they had thought were confirmed. So be sure to book your room through Connections Housing!
