When registration opens you will be able to secure your accommodation by completing the
accommodation section of the online registration form. A valid credit card number must be

not be charged a deposit at the time of booking or in advance of arrival (unless stated in
the terms and conditions for each hotel below). Your accommodation and incidental costs must
be settled directly with the hotel on arrival or departure. Please note hotels may charge a
surcharge on credit card payments.
Should you require dates outside of the main Congress dates, please note this in your
booking and WALDRONSMITH Management will contact the hotel on your behalf and advise.
Please note that check in time is generally 1400 hours. If you require immediate access to
your room prior to this time, it may be wise to pre-register for the evening before. If you
are arriving after 1800 hours please note this accordingly.
The hotels impose strict release dates of 30 days prior to arrival and therefore any

cancelled bookings or failure to arrive at the hotel on designated date of arrival (no show)
will incur penalties. See cancellation details below for individual hotels before making
your selection.
