Travel Tip for International Attendees

Hotels typically hold hotel room reservations until Midnight of the day it starts. After that they may make the room available for other guests. If you are traveling to the conference from abroad and might arrive at the hotel later than 12:00 a.m. please contact the hotel as soon as possible. Inform them that you may be delayed and are requesting a delayed check-in. This will help ensure your room is waiting for you when you arrive.
