Important Hotel Information

It has come to the attention of APS that an unauthorized company is soliciting APS meeting attendees and exhibitors to book hotel rooms at the Annual Scientific Meeting host hotels. The host hotels do not contact attendees to book rooms. This is not sanctioned by APS. We have been advised that the unauthorized solicitors are requesting credit card information. Due to Payment Card Industry procedures, we recommend you do not give out this information.
