Hotel Reservations
Make your hotel reservations through the Seattle Housing
Bureau on the SOT Annual Meeting Web site.
If you are logged on to the SOT Web site and you have
already registered for the Annual Meeting, your address
information will be pre-populated when you proceed to the
hotel reservation service.
The Society of Toxicology has reserved and made arrangements
for SOT Annual Meeting attendee discounted room
rates at various Seattle hotels—known as the SOT hotel
block. This block includes discounted room rates at many
premier hotel chains and details can be found on page 30.
The Room Sharing program will be continued for 2008 SOT
Annual Meeting Registrants. Access this option from the
Annual Meeting section of the SOT Web site.
Did you know that your choice of hotel for the SOT Annual
Meeting has direct impact on Society’s Strategic initiatives?
Although we understand that making your reservations
outside of the SOT block can sometimes be more economical,
it decreases the money available to the Society to carry
out its strategic goals and may cause the Society to have
to pay attrition fees for unutilized rooms. In addition, the
Society is unable to assist you if you have any difficulties
with your room reservation, such as the hotel over-booking
or misplacing your reservation.
SOT depends on the Annual Meeting revenue to fund other
programs throughout the year and to keep future registration
fees low. Please assist the Society by making your hotel
reservation through the Seattle Housing Bureau.
A note about calling the hotel directly: please do not call
your hotel “to be sure” until after Friday, February 29, 2008.
Please understand that processing your reservations from the
Housing Bureau into the hotel system will take a few days.
Rest assured that if you have received a confirmation number
from the Housing Bureau, the hotel will honor your booking.
Thank you for your consideration.
