Hotel Information

Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza COVID-19 Statement:
The Hilton does not require vaccinated guests to wear masks. Those that are unvaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask, however they are not “policing” this, it’s an honor system. They are following all State Mandates as it relates to COVID and have a very active cleaning program in place.  While there have been some changes to the Hilton Clean Stay program, the core elements remain in place as it relates to room cleanliness and public space cleanliness, including regularly scheduled visits to high touch areas of the hotel (i.e. elevators, foyers, etc.). They are currently only providing housekeeping service upon request, therefore keeping their staff out of the attendees guestrooms for their health safety and privacy. Finally, all guestrooms have P-TAC air conditioning and heating systems that draw air directly from the outside into each individual guestroom, rather than using a shared ventilation system.

Exciting NEW Conference Features

Conference Kickoff Social Hour
Ohio GFOA is excited to be back in person after a long year of virtual events. If you are local or arriving early to Cincinnati, we hope you will consider stopping by the hotel lobby for the first-ever Ohio GFOA Conference Kickoff Social Hour on Tuesday, September 21st from 8-9 PM.

This informal social hour is free to attend for conference attendees. Early conference registration will also be available during the social hour. Conference attendees can relax with a drink and circumvent the morning registration crowd.

Virtual Option for Attendees
The 2021 Ohio GFOA Annual Conference will be a hybrid format, with the option to participate either in-person or virtual (live-stream). Only one (1) session, per time block, will be live-streamed (sessions determined by registration popularity), including the general sessions, through the conference mobile app. Furthermore, all sessions, per time block, will be recorded for on-demand and posted to the Ohio GFOA website, following the conference.

The following sessions will be available via LIVE-STREAM in the Conference Mobile App.
