Hotel Reservations
Scams

Hotel-Reservations

    • Booking Within Our Block

      We want to ensure that your visit is safe, convenient, and memorable. Staying at our host hotel provides a hassle-free booking experience and puts you at the heart of the activity surrounding the conference. 

      We encourage attendees to book within the West Coast Symposium room block to:

      1. Save Money – To make the best use of your registration dollars, we have negotiated a special reduced rate available only to West Coast Symposium attendees. 

      2. Gain Additional Networking Opportunities – By staying at the conference hotel, you enhance your opportunities to meet with colleagues and share experiences and ideas. Plus, when you book within the block, you gain access to important announcements at check-in and any deliveries arranged by exhibitors. 

      3. Support Future Meetings – When you book within the block, you help to keep meeting costs as low as possible and enable us to provide some of the important meeting features attendees have come to enjoy. You are not only supporting the Symposium, but reinforcing our reputation and locking in special rates for future meetings, enhancing the overall attendee experience. 

      A limited number of rooms will be available. Be sure to book within our block to lock in our discounted rate and make the most of your hotel experience. 

    • Changes/Cancellations

      The hotel will collect a non-refundable deposit of one night's room rate plus tax. The deposit is applied to the guest's folio at the time of check in.
      Should an attendee not arrive or cancel, the deposit will be forfeited.

       

Scams

    • Beware of Scams

      HMP is the official housing provider for West Coast Symposium. Solicitation of hotel reservations from any housing provider other than HMP is not approved by West Coast Symposium. Hotel reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to be for lower rates; however, they may be illegitimate. Please report any unauthorized solicitation to Sean Hewitt at shewitt@hmpglobal.com

    • Important Note

      Scammers may call or email WCSAD attendees, faculty, and exhibitors claiming to represent WCSAD or WCSAD vendors, and encourage participants to book rooms using fake promotion companies like “Exhibitors Housing Services” or “Convention Hotel Services”. They may know a lot about the meeting and may even alter the caller ID to make it look like WCSAD or HMP is calling. Those targeted by these scammers are told housing is filling up or almost sold out and rooms should be booked with them immediately. Neither WCSAD, HMP, or our host hotels will ever call you to solicit hotel reservations. Any legitimate message to attendees will direct you to the conference’s Travel & Hotel Information page, where participants will use secure links to our approved hotel blocks. HMP respects your privacy and will never post conference attendee or exhibitor’s personal information online. Please note that rooms booked through any other source are at your own risk.

      If you receive emails or calls regarding discounted hotel accommodations for WCSAD please disregard these offers and forward the information to shewitt@hmpglobal.com so we can investigate and help prevent further solicitations.
