HOTEL RESERVATIONS: To place a hotel reservation at the TSPP discounted room rate of $249 please click here

Booking a room within the TSPP room block is an important way to help keep the overall meeting registration fee and costs as low as possible. Booking “outside of the TSPP block” or at another hotel could expose TSPP to monetary damages for hotel room block attrition which may then necessitate an increase in future meeting registration rates. Plus, staying in the hotel keeps you connected with all the activities and networking opportunities during the event. Please “help us help you” by booking your room at the hotel hosting the meeting and within the TSPP room block. 

Deadline for discounted rooms: Thursday, October 12th
