Why should I stay at the ASME Conference headquarter hotels, the Pan Pacific, Fairmont Waterfront, and Renaissance Harbourside when I maybe able to find a lower one on my own?
Negotiated hotel rates incorporate many benefits for you and ASME. ASME must sign a contract with the host city that guarantees that a specified number of hotel rooms will be booked by our conference attendees. The number of rooms guaranteed is called the room block. As the number of rooms in the room block increases, costs to ASME decrease, which we are able to pass along to our conference attendees in the form of lower registration prices.

If attendees stay in the host hotels, ASME will fulfill its contractual obligation with the Hotel. If attendees stay in other hotels, ASME faces the possibility that its room block will not be met, forcing it to pay severe penalties, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars. We ask that you please consider staying at any of the host hotels during the conference.

What are the benefits of staying at the conference Headquarter Hotels?
When you factor in cab fees and the time associated with travel to alternate hotels, you may not benefit as much financially as you had planned. By staying at either the Pan Pacific, Fairmont Waterfront or the Renaissance Harbourside, you gain the opportunity to further network with your industry peers and remain in the center of the activity surrounding the conference.

Our Conference depends on your patronage of this room block. We believe that staying at the Conference preferred hotels is part of your Conference experience and Conference organizers recommend these hotels exclusively.
