I randomly decided to check out the Phoenix Fan Fusion website today and to my surprise, it was given a make over and had a lot of information in regards to the 2022 convention. Before we get to it, I just wanted to remind you that with this information being posted 6 months out, I’m sure everything is subject to change.

COVID-19 Update
Phoenix Fan Fusion has posted the following in regards to COVID protocols
“Per the Phoenix Convention Center COVID-19 Operating Plan there are no restrictions on attendees, nor required proof of vaccination status, in order to attend an event at the Phoenix Convention Center.

​In accordance with CDC guidelines unvaccinated individuals should continue to practice social distancing. Face coverings are recommended indoors for all individuals regardless of vaccination status.“

Hotels
It looks like there are currently 10 partner hotels for the convention which are:
Hyatt Regency Phoenix
Sheraton Downtown Phoenix
Renaissance Phoenix Downtown
Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown
AC Hotel Marriott Downtown
Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix Downtown
Resident Inn – Phoenix Downtown
Courtyard by Marriott – Phoenix Downtown
Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Downtown
Radisson Phoenix Airport

Not all of the prices are listed yet (you can check here for what has been posted but I will create a separate hotel post when everything is finalized). When does the hotel sale open? Well, that depends on what group you follow into below
