Click the link below to reserve your room at the hotel. Please reserve your room before October 5, 2021 to receive a 10% discount. Reserve early – 150 rooms are being held for our group. There is space for 350 people at the conference.
If you have already booked a room for the now-rescheduled 2020 conference, you should have received a cancellation notice. If not, please email Kruthika.Ganesh@
About the hotel booking:
- There are two different hotels within the complex, and you may notice both options when you enter your booking dates. The Douglas is more edgy, the JW Marriott is more of a classic feel. Both, however, are connected to the conference floor with easy access. It’s all under one dome.
- Please add a note when you are booking whether you would like a room with two Double beds, or one King. There is a note section in the reservation system for you to do so. We can’t guarantee you will get what you ask for – please contact the hotel directly afterwards to check.
Conference Registration Fee:
$600 includes three days at the conference. There are no discounted rates available. The fee includes Talks, Workshops, Evening Activities, Lunches (vegetarian), Beverages & Snacks. Scroll down to register for the conference.
