Why should you stay in the headquarters hotel?
We strongly encourage you to stay in the conference hotel and to identify yourself as a USENIX conference attendee when making your reservation.
By contracting rooms for our attendees, we significantly reduce hotel charges for meeting room rental. When those sleeping rooms are not occupied, we face significant financial penalties. Those penalties ultimately force us to raise registration fees.
With costs going higher and higher, we are working hard to negotiate the very best hotel rates for you and to keep other conference expenses down, in order to keep registration fees as low as possible. We appreciate your help in this endeavor.
