Last Chance to Make your Hotel Reservations - 15th Annual IAMSE Meeting

Dear Colleagues ...

As we are just a couple weeks away from the 15th Annual Meeting of IAMSE in St. Petersburg I wanted to remind you that the room block for the hotel is about to expire.

I strongly encourage you to make your reservations now as the hotel will no longer honor the highly reduced rate negotiated for this meeting after May 24th. I would also like to remind you to not use Internet sites such as Hotels.com, Expedia.com etc. to make your reservations. IAMSE will not benefit from rooms booked under this method and we will be unable to assist you if a problem should develop regarding your reservation.

Please contact julie@iamse.org is you need any assistance in booking your room or submitting your conference registration.

I am looking forward to seeing you in St. Petersburg!
