Staying in the conference hotel has a lot of advantages. In addition to having access to all of the hotel’s amenities, having participants onsite, improves the conference experience and helps cover the facility costs. Because of this, we ask you to book the hotel only via the link below.
Update: Our room block at the Island Grand has sold out. However, our contracted price has been extended to a block of rooms at the RumFish Beach Hotel, which is the sister property located a short walk from the Island Grand. RumFish guests have access to all of the amenities of the Island Grand, plus a lovely walk on the beach (or a sidewalk, if that’s your thing) to get to and from conference activities.
Final Update: Our booking deadline has passed and the block has closed. You may still be able to book a room at the Island Grand or Rumfish outside of our block by using any hotel booking site. Otherwise, you can look for another nearby hotel to stay at.
