We look forward to welcoming you to the Westin Pittsburgh for this year’s conference. We strongly encourage all attendees to book their accommodations at the official conference hotel and within the conference room block.

Staying at the host hotel provides convenient access to conference sessions, networking opportunities, and special events, while creating a more connected and engaging experience for all participants. Beyond convenience, room reservations made within the conference block directly support the conference and help us meet our contractual commitments with the hotel.

Please note that the conference’s ability to secure meeting space, negotiate favorable rates, maintain affordable registration fees, and continue offering a high-quality event experience is directly tied to the number of attendees who stay within the official hotel block. When attendees choose accommodations outside the room block, it can have a significant financial impact on the conference and may affect future meeting arrangements.

We respectfully ask that all attendees support the conference by reserving their room at the Westin Pittsburgh through the official housing link and avoiding alternative hotels or third-party booking channels. Your participation in the room block is essential to the continued success and sustainability of this conference, and we appreciate your partnership in helping us
