Why Use the Annual Meeting Housing Bureau? It Benefits You and the Society—Now and In the Future!
SOT is committed to assisting you to prepare for the SOT Annual Meeting, and you are encouraged to rely on the services available to you, such as the SOT Housing Bureau reservation system. Please help SOT by booking a room through the official SOT Housing Bureau. It is critical that SOT fulfills its commitment to the city and official hotels by honoring the contracted hotel blocks. Below are some of the near-term and long-term reasons to use the Housing Bureau as you plan for the SOT 2010 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Near-Term:
- Ease and convenience of obtaining a room at discounted rate at many premier hotel chains
- Assistance from SOT Meetings Department if you have any difficulties with your room reservation, such as the hotel overbooking or misplacing your reservation
Long-Term:
- Did you know that your choice of hotel for the SOT 2010 Annual Meeting has a direct impact on the Society's Strategic Plans? Although we understand that making your reservation outside the SOT block can sometimes be more economical, it decreases the money available to the Society to carry out its long-term goals and may cause the Society to have to pay attrition fees for unutilized rooms.
- If you do not use the Housing Bureau, the Society does not have a reliable usage database to help assess future needs. This information is an important factor in selecting locations that can successfully accommodate meeting attendees.
So, mark your calendars now for the Salt Lake City meeting—March 7–11, 2010, select your housing early, and assure that you receive the benefits of first-rate accommodations and convenience realized by using the Housing Bureau.
