Registration is now open for members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) to attend the 55th International Convention of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU). The event will take place at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, located at 265 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia.

The convention serves as a gathering point for trade unionists nationwide to discuss important labor issues. At last year’s convention, IAM members participated in sessions on organizing, conflict resolution, leadership development, building power, and exchanging strategies to strengthen both their union and the wider labor movement.

A group rate for CBTU attendees has been set at $185 per night at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, with additional taxes applied. The deadline to reserve rooms at this rate is April 24, 2026. Reservations require a one-night credit card deposit that can be refunded if canceled by April 15, 2026. After April 24, reservations will depend on availability and may be subject to higher rates.

Participants are encouraged to book their hotel accommodations using the official CBTU booking link. Alternatively, reservations can be made by calling 1-877-803-7534 and referencing CBTU; however, online booking remains the preferred method.
