Cancellation
Policy
Those who cancel their advance registration for the

30) will receive a 50% refund of fees paid. No refunds
will be issued after this date.

There
are four separate advance registration deadlines,
each with its own advantages and benefits:
Employment
Center |
October
24 |
Applicant
and employer forms must be received by October
24 in order to be reproduced in the Winter
Lists for the Employment
Center. |
EARLY |
October
31 |
Those
who register by the early deadline of
October 31will be included in a random
drawing to select winners of complimentary hotel
rooms in Phoenix. Multiple occupancy is permissible.
The location of rooms to be used in this lottery
will be based on the number of complimentary
rooms available in the various hotels. Therefore,
the free room may not necessarily be in the
winner's first-choice hotel. The winners will
be notified by mail prior to December 19.
So register early!

Participants should be aware that the AMS and MAA contract
only with facilities who are working toward being in compliance
with the public accommodations requirements of the ADA.
Participants requiring hotel reservations should read
the instructions on the following hotel pages. Participants
who did not reserve a room during advance registration
and would like to obtain a room at one of the hotels listed
on the following pages should call the hotels directly
after December 15. However, after that date the
MMSB can no longer guarantee availability of rooms or
special convention rates. Participants should be aware
that most hotels are starting to charge a penalty fee
to guests for departure changes made before or after guests
have checked into their rooms. These hotels are indicated
on the hotel page at http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2078_hotelpage.html.
Participants should also inquire about this at check-in
and make their final plans accordingly.
Participants should also be aware that it is general
hotel practice in most cities to hold a nonguaranteed
reservation until 6:00 p.m. only. When one guarantees
a reservation by paying a deposit or submitting a credit
card number as a guarantee in advance, however, the hotel
usually will honor this reservation up until checkout
time the following day. If the individual holding the
reservation has not checked in by that time, the room
is then released for sale, and the hotel retains the deposit
or applies one night's room charge to the credit card
number submitted.
If you hold a guaranteed reservation at a hotel but are
informed upon arrival that there is no room for you, there
are certain things you can request the hotel do. First,
they should provide for a room at another hotel in town
for that evening at no charge. (You already paid for the
first night when you made your deposit.) They should pay
for taxi fares to the other hotel that evening and back
to the meetings the following morning. They should also
pay for one telephone toll call so that you can let people
know you are not at the hotel you expected. They should
make every effort to find a room for you in their hotel
the following day and, if successful, pay your taxi fares
to and from the second hotel so that you can pick up your
baggage and bring it to the first hotel. Not all hotels
in all cities follow this practice, so your request for
these services may bring mixed results or none at all.
