I am not sure the event organizers will check their attendee list against their room block, but the cheapest one day price for the event is $20, so even if you had to pay it, what you save on two nights resort fee and parking would more than cover that price.
The event's site is

There is another event happening pretty much the same first week of May that has a slightly cheaper rate. Starting at $111 a night. Not sure when this rate will expire.

It's for a ABPS (American board of Podiatric Surgery) board review course if anyone asks.
