Why it is important to book at one of the ASHG Official Hotels
The ASHG has a very good record from year-to-year in filling its room block. Filling a room block is important to ASHG because it:

1. Allows us to meet our obligations with the hotels and provides a “history” to future meeting cities. By establishing a history of always fulfilling the room block, the Society secures competitive rates when negotiating with future cities.

2. Because we realize that it is expensive to attend scientific meetings, we do everything possible to keep costs reasonable for you. ASHG Annual Meeting registration fees are low compared to many other meetings and ASHG is one of the only societies that do not charge a fee for submitting abstracts. If the room blocks are not satisfied, The ASHG stands to be charged thousands of dollars in hotel attrition fees and it will become necessary to raise fees.

3. It gives us the opportunity to assist you if problems arise with your reservation (we will be unable to assist attendees who booked reservations directly through another agency or at an hotel that is not in the official housing block).

The ASHG wants to be able to sustain the best rates and facilities for future meetings so we ask for your help by booking your meeting accommodations at one of the Annual Meeting hotels. If you have problems making your reservation, please contact us at Pauline@faseb.org.

We certainly understand if you decide to stay at another hotel or have found alternative accommodations during the meeting. If this occurs, it would be helpful for our history if you could let us know where you plan to stay and what rate you are being offered by completing the attached anonymous COMMENTS FORM
