Hotel & Travel
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
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.
