TULSA, Oklahoma, April 6, 2018/Petroleum Equipment Institute/ -- Registration will open in May for the 2018 PEI Convention at the NACS Show in Las Vegas, but attendees who want prime hotel rooms are booking them now through Connections Housing.

“Your feet will thank you,” said Sarah West, convention director at PEI. “The hotels closest to the convention center fill up quickly, and to score one of those rooms, you need to reserve it now and only through our official housing company, Connections Housing.”

The 2018 PEI Convention at the NACS Show will be Oct. 7-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). A preliminary schedule is available at www.pei.org/show/schedule.
