Request Meeting Space
SOT offers attendees the opportunity to host meetings and events while at the SOT Annual Meeting. There are five different types of meeting and event space available to meet your needs. Only SOT Global Partners, exhibitors, Supporters, or organizations otherwise associated with SOT may host ancillary functions or have Ancillary Meeting space during the SOT Annual Meeting. These events must be approved by SOT Headquarters, as hotels are not permitted to book meeting space without authorization from SOT.

Ancillary Meeting space is available for a variety of functions, from small group meetings to receptions. No ancillary events may be scheduled during the days and time periods detailed on this web page.
Request Ancillary Meeting Space
Policies:
- Submit one application per function request (only one day/time per application). You will receive email confirmation for each space request.
- In early October, you will receive email confirmation with your room assignment and hotel contact information. All coordination, including food and beverage and audiovisual equipment requests, should be arranged directly with the hotel contact. The applicant is responsible for any fees or charges assessed by the hotel.
- Space will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis after all SOT functions have been placed. Diamond Supporters will receive priority in the space assignment process.
- SOT has the right to change space assignments at any time due to unforeseen schedule alterations.
- SOT reserves the right to deny any Ancillary Meeting request from any organization whose goals or past actions are deemed counterproductive to those of the Society.
