Code of Federal Regulations Title 41. Public Contracts and Property Management § 41.301–74.9 Are there any special requirements for sponsoring or funding a conference at a hotel, motel or other place of public accommodation?

Yes. When you sponsor or fund (see 15 U.S.C. 2225a), in whole or in part, a conference at a place of public accommodation in the United States, you must use an approved accommodation (see § 300–3.1 of this title), except as provided in § 301–74.10. This provision also applies to the government of the District of Columbia when it expends Federal funds for a conference and any non–Federal entity which uses Government funds to sponsor or fund a conference.
