Lodging:
We strongly encourage you to make your lodging reservation when you register for The Confluence. There is not a room block at either hotel. September is a busy time of year for WSS to host hunters in the area so hotel rooms could be in high demand if you delay making your reservation.
Leadership Montana is a non-profit collaboration of leaders from business, labor, healthcare, higher education, non-profits and government coming together to form a strong partnership for the betterment of Montana.
