Hotels

To qualify for a discounted registration rate, you MUST reserve a room at an IOSC Hosted Hotel. Your room must be booked by the Hosted Hotel cutoff date to receive the discounted rate. Please note that each hotel has their own cutoff date. IOSC will perform an audit on the housing block on April 15. Those that have not booked within the block by the respective hotel cutoff date will have their registration rate changed to reflect the difference.

*To qualify for a Government Rated Room, you must be an official government employee or active military personnel and must occupy the room to qualify for this rate. A valid Government or Military ID will be required upon check-in to validate the rate. Government Rate is subject to availability.

Avoid Housing Scams

Note: IOSC has not contracted with any third party for hotel arrangements and will not call or email you directly to make housing arrangements on your behalf.

Should you receive a call or email from a third-party provider, please collect as much information as you can and let us know immediately. “Room Poachers” have been known to act as representatives of IOSC, or authorized providers of IOSC, to offer room discounts or alternative accommodations to our attendees – often to the attendee’s detriment. These companies are not affiliated with IOSC, and reservations made through these companies for our meeting cannot be guaranteed.

How It Works

This deceptive practice (called “room poaching”) is carried out by third‐party companies that act as travel agencies, wholesalers, or even API to solicit registrants for room reservations. The poacher might inform registrants that the hotel room block is “sold out,” and that if you do not book with them immediately, you may not get a room. Room poachers make it more difficult for us to meet our room block commitments, and expose us to penalties and increased room rates for our events. Room poachers often don’t deliver on promises to customers. When customers arrive, reservations are non‐existent or the hotels are not conveniently located. Sometimes the rooms have been cancelled and hefty cancellation fees have been placed on the customer’s credit card.

Don’t Be Deceived

If you are contacted by anyone asking if you need a room for the IOSC 2024, please get as much information as you can (their name, company name, phone number, etc.) and pass it along to info@iosc.org. Always make your room reservation directly with the information provided by IOSC or a trusted source.

API will use all legal means possible to prevent these groups from operating.

Please contact info@iosc.org with any questions.
