2012 Spring Meeting: Housing and Transportation

HOUSING
Advance Group has been designated as the Official Housing Bureau for SPP 2012. The Official Meeting hotels were chosen for the numerous benefits they offer congress delegates and we request your assistance and support by booking your hotel accommodation at one of the Official Meeting hotels. Accommodation reserved outside the Official Meeting hotel room blocks exposes the SPP 2012 to financial penalties. Your loyalty and cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Be sure to take advantage of the special hotel rates available only to SPP 2012 delegates at the hotels listed here.

Hotel Reservations
Official Meeting hotels will not accept reservations directly. Reservations must be made online through Advance Group's secure website for instant confirmation.

Important Information
The deadline for reservations is 9am PST Friday February 11, 2012. Requests received after this date will be forwarded direct to the specific official hotels.

All hotel prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars, per night, per room. Rates are subject to an additional 12% HST, 2% Hotel Tax and 1.5% Destination Marketing Fee per night, per room. Taxes are subject to change without notice.
