Hotel Information

Beware of Housing Scams

Improper solicitation of hotel reservations from any company other than Maritz/MGE is not approved. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to have lower rates, however, they may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please be aware of, and report any unauthorized solicitation to aharris@ascb.org If someone other than Maritz/MGE, on behalf of the ASCB, contacts you via email, phone, or fax, please do not provide your personal information, especially your credit card number. If you provide your credit card information to one of these companies (commonly referred to as “pirates” or “housing/registration bandits”), your credit card may be charged and you might not have a hotel room when you arrive in Washington, DC.

Room Share Application

To assist with hotel expenses, which can be an expensive part of attending any meeting, the ASCB and EMBO provide a room share service for all registered meeting participants. Applications can be submitted through November 9, 2022 at 12:00 noon EST.

The room share service is intended to help attendees save meeting costs by room sharing. It is available to each registered meeting attendee who fills out the form. Once you fill out the form, you will be able to download a list of others who are interested in sharing a room.

It is the responsibility of each participant in the program to communicate with and to work out an agreement with a potential room-sharer. The ASCB’s and EMBO’s roles are strictly limited to the maintenance of the list of registrants who have signified interest in the program. The ASCB will maintain the list but does not (a) screen participants, (b) make any determination as to the appropriateness of any resulting room share, or (c) represent that any room-share which may follow use of the service will prove to be satisfactory to the participants. Please take note also of the waiver of liability which is a condition of the use of the service.

The ASCB and EMBO assume no responsibility with respect to these services and accepts no liabilities.

The list contains the following information:

  • Name
  • Gender
  • Smoking preference
  • Arrival/departure dates
  • Email addresses

The room share application is now closed.
