providing unmatched
customer service while building
long-lasting partnerships.
Nancy Hallberg and Kris Sieradzki founded Connections Housing in Atlanta in 1986, after working at a hotel and seeing what both sides of the room block needed. Forty years later, that’s still our edge. We represent the organizer, and we understand how hotels, CVBs and convention centers make their decisions. When everyone is working toward the same goal, shows grow.

exceeding expectations
while creating lasting relationships
“Connections Housing are true partners in every sense of the word. We value their housing expertise and ability to create a winning experience for the attendee, our properties and the mutual client. Our integrated reservation technology allows us to effectively monitor room inventory throughout the entire housing process. Truly a winning combination!”
Cindy Goldberg, Senior Citywide Sales Manager – Caesar’s Entertainment
“This is our first year working with Connections Housing and couldn't be happier with our decision to partner with them. From educating us on best practices, to negotiating hotel contracts with the best rate and block possible, to managing an incredibly user friendly reservation website, Connections repeatedly exceeds expectations and rises to challenges along the way. They provided fantastic "white glove service" to our VIPs and larger room blocks, never failing to adapt to ever changing needs. Not only do I love working with the Connections team, but I've heard amazing accolades from various Convention and Visitor Bureaus which speaks volumes about their integrity, attention to detail and reputation in this industry. We're so thankful to have Connections Housing on our side!”
Gail Sparks-Riegel, IEEE Event Management

In my 20 years of being in the industry, I can say that Connections Housing has the best of the best. Each and every person truly works on building a partnership that really sets them apart from the rest. I will work hard to earn their business and I will work even harder to keep it.”
