Please be advised that some meeting participants have received calls and emails from a number of different housing services,
including "Exhibitors Housing Services," “Expo Housing Services,” "Global Housing," etc. THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT AFFILIATED
WITH KEYSTONE SYMPOSIA and are not authorized by Keystone Symposia to contact you. These companies may tell you that the meeting
is filling, without any actual knowledge to that effect, and pressure you into giving them your credit card number to make a
lodging reservation with them.
We highly recommend that you not make a reservation with these companies or any other housing service! These companies'
representations to participants have been misleading. Please report any calls or correspondence you might have received to
Keystone Symposia and book only through lodging links in your Keystone Symposia account, an established travel agency
or directly with the hotel(s) listed on our website.
Due to the constantly changing nature of travel, we urge people to research their own travel
requirements. This includes Passport and Visa requirements, documentation for re-entry into country
of residence and any other identification needed. Please allow sufficient time in advance of the
meeting for processing of all necessary documentation.
Be sure to confirm air and hotel arrangements at least 24 hours in advance of departure. As
a reminder, never leave your wallet and passport unattended while traveling, and have photocopies
of all identification and credit cards in case of theft or loss.
