Hotel and Travel Information
SLAS2016 will be held at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA, USA. The convention center address is 111 W Harbor Dr., San Diego, CA 92101.
SLAS has partnerships in place with the following hotels and service providers in order to provide conference the best rates and convenience.
Individual Hotel Reservations
SLAS2016 has contracted with four of San Diego's premier convention hotels the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter and the Omni San Diego Hotel. SLAS has negotiated discounted rates at these properties for SLAS2016 participants. While the hotel rates include a rebate to SLAS to help offset the costs of the Convention Center rental, in order to keep registration costs down, the negotiated rates are below standard guest rates quoted at the hotels if you are not with SLAS.
At this time, each of the SLAS2016 Conference Hotels are SOLD OUT over some dates of the SLAS2016 Conference.
The deadline to reserve your room at the negotiated SLAS2016 rate was December 24th. Bookings made after this date will receive the SLAS2016 rate based only on individual hotel availability.
Warning about unaffiliated hotels and third-party booking agencies...
Please be aware that exhibitors often are solicited by unaffiliated hotels or third-party housing agencies to book hotel reservations. SLAS2016.org is the only official booking agency and any solicitations or communications regarding hotel bookings from non-SLAS employees should not be considered valid. When SLAS is notified of these solicitations, we immediately demand a cease and desist of such practices.
Please report any unauthorized solicitations to myself or Amy McGorry via email at amcgorry@slas.org immediately.
These groups often advertise a lower rate than is promoted by SLAS for the official SLAS2016 hotels. In some circumstances these reservations have non-refundable or pre-payment requirements and harsh and unforgiving cancellation policies. In some cases, reservations do not even exist at the time of check-in at the booked hotel. For these reasons, and to support SLAS official partners, which helps to ensure a quality experience, we encourage you to book your reservations through the processes outlined on this website.
