Accommodation:
Reserve your room at the Little America Hotel during registration for discounted rates.
Your support in staying at the contracted hotel helps keep the conference costs down, which directly affects your registration fees. The event’s organizers contract for the best possible room rates for its events and is required to guarantee a predetermined number of sleeping rooms. If the event does not meet the contracted room block, the hotel can charge an attrition fee, which will result in higher registration fees at future conferences. Therefore, we encourage you to book your room through our block at the conference hotel.
All reservations made after the blocks are filled and/or after the deadline will be available at the hotel’s prevailing rate and availability is not guaranteed.
International attendees should review U.S. visa requirements early. Visa denial refunds are available upon proof.
