Bookings

Bookings can be made using through the delegate registration form.

Accommodation options

Deposits

Accommodation will not be confirmed until a deposit of one night’s tariff is received. This deposit will be forwarded to your hotel and will be credited to your room account.

You will pay the remainder of the room nights to the hotel directly upon check-out.

Cancellations

No accommodation deposits will be refunded on or after 14 May 2010.

If a deposit is not received 30 days prior to the conference start date, accommodation will be released. Delegates who confirm attendance and provide a deposit but do not advise of cancellation before the 30 day period of conference commencement will incur charges for a ‘no-show’ rate, as penalised by the hotel. This charge is calculated as the room rate per night multiplied by the dates booked and secured. Please ensure that accommodation dates are correct at the time of booking.

Early arrival

Some international flights arrive in Sydney in the early morning. As check in is not until 1400, it is possible that your room may not be available for immediate occupation on your early arrival. Whilst hotels will do everything possible to accommodate early arrivals, if you wish to be guaranteed immediate occupation, you are able to pay an extra day’s tariff for the night before you are due to arrive. If you wish to take this precaution, please advise the Conference Secretariat on the registration form so that we can notify the hotel that your room is pre-registered.

Late arrival

Please indicate if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800. Failure to do so may result in your room being released.

Change of booking

Any change in booking must be made in writing to the Conference Secretariat and NOT directly to the hotel.

Group accommodation bookings

The Conference Secretariat offers organisations the opportunity to contract ten or more rooms for the Conference. This requires a contract to be signed by ICMS Australasia and your organisation to block book the group reservation.

• Hotel name
