April 20 — While SC16 is still several months away, the early bird truly gets the worm when it comes to securing your desired hotel during conference week. Hotels near the convention center are always in peak demand and book up early.
SC16’s exclusive contractor for booking hotel rooms – Orchid Event Solutions – recently provided these interesting data points as related to SC housing:
- On average, 74% of the SC housing block is booked within the 1st two weeks of housing being open.
- The average length of stay is 4.72 nights.
- People from 49 different countries took advantage of the SC housing block last year.
- More than 70% of SC housing is booked online.
“It is important to make your reservation early to get the most desired hotel and rate,” said Bronis R. de Supinski, SC16 Housing Chair from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. “We have this system in place for the benefit of attendees as it helps to reduce hotel rates in general and provides a layer of protection from price discrepancies since reservations are made through our group system.”

Please note, the conference is not responsible for hotels or rates offered by travel agents or other organizations that claim to speak on behalf of SC16. To avoid potential problems with your reservation, please be sure to use only the forms accessible from the SC16 website.
