Where is CNU 31 being held?
CNU 31 will be hosted at the Charlotte Westin in Uptown. The address is: 601 South College Street, Charlotte, NC, 28202. Most of the action at CNU 31 will happen on the 2nd floor. The open space at the top of the escalator, referred to by the hotel as the Promenade, is where you will find the exhibit hall, bookstore, coffee / breakfast, and registration. You can also access the 2nd floor rooms via the hotel’s elevator bank.
The main Congress sessions will occur in the following meeting rooms:
- The Grand Ballroom (C/D)
- Ballroom A/B

Urban Guild sessions will be in the Providence Ballroom on the first floor, directly below the other sessions.
You can access the Westin from all over the city via the Lynx Light Rail, as there is a stop right on the second floor of the building – Brooklyn Village Station. You can also access the Westin from the airport by rideshare or by taking the 5-Airport Route bus, which is around a 25 minute ride with 20-30 minute headways on weekday travel.

Are you providing Continuing Education Credits?
Prior to the beginning of the Congress, we will be publishing a list of available credits on the CNU Connect app as well as our website.
To claim credits for sessions you attended, simply fill out the form for the corresponding credits at the bottom of each session description – either on the mobile app or desktop version. This is especially important for AIA and LA CES (ALSA) credits, as we will be reporting your attendance on your behalf. In addition, qualified sessions will be submitted for CNU-A and AICP credit maintenance. AICP members are responsible for logging Certification Maintenance (CM) credits and managing their online CM log, however we still need record of your attendance by using the AICP or CNU-A typeform link for proof of attendance.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Refund minus a 10% processing fee will be offered if cancelled on or before May 1, 2023. Beginning May 2, 2023 there will be no refunds. Substitutions may be made without penalty. Please submit your cancellation request or substitution information by clicking here.
