Hotel Update - Lower Room Rate!
As a benefit to you, the SF Marriott is now offering a significantly reduced rate of $159.00 (+tax) per night at the conference hotel to all Symposium attendees.

If you have not already made your room reservation, or if you have reserved a room at another hotel, we would like to encourage you to stay in the headquarter hotel and when making your reservation, be sure to state that you are attending the USENIX conference.

HOTEL

Why should you stay in the headquarter hotel?
We would like to encourage you to stay in the headquarter hotel(s) and when making your reservation remember to state that you are attending the USENIX conference.
USENIX conferences use a lot of meeting space and rental fees can be quite costly. As a result, USENIX always negotiates contracts that contain guarantees that a certain number of sleeping rooms will be used during our conferences. And, when those guarantees are not met, USENIX is assessed penalties which sometimes are quite high.
As a benefit to you, USENIX is able to leverage these guarantees to negotiate discounted rates for your stay. Widespread defection from the headquarters hotel will inevitably lead to higher registration fees for everyone. It will also lead to hotels declining to book USENIX conferences.
Although we try to negotiate the best possible rates, we recognize that not everyone can afford to stay in the headquarters hotel. We always try to choose sites that have less expensive options in the immediate area. We also recommend roomsharing (comp.org.usenix.roomshare is good for this purpose).
Thank you for your understanding.
USENIX has negotiated special rates for conference attendees at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel. Contact the hotel directly to make your reservation as soon as possible. You must mention USENIX to get the special rate. A one-night room deposit must be guaranteed to a major credit card.
