Conference Lodging

Be sure to make hotel reservations at STC’s official conference hotel, the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown (+1 215-625-2900) to ensure that you stay at the hotel with which STC has a contract. By booking a room at the Marriott, you will also help STC avoid paying penalties (attrition). Hotels penalize for rooms blocked but not used. This can take the form of an actual cash penalty for STC or a loss of STC’s credibility to hold enough rooms for future meetings. STC works hard to negotiate the best rate available at the hotels most convenient to the annual meeting facility. That way you will have the best annual meeting experience possible and facilitate networking with your peers. Please help the Society help you by reserving a room at the official conference hotel.

The cost for a single room is U.S. $218 per day plus tax. The cost for a double room is U.S. $228 per day plus tax. Additional people in the room are U.S. $20 each.

As soon as the hotel opens registration for the conference, details will be posted on the STC Web site.
