SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT HOTEL PRICES

Visitors will know that in the volatile situation of the last 3 years, hotel prices have fluctuated widely and especially attractive rates may be obtained on line.  But the rates we have negotiated with the Miami Beach Resort & Spa Hotel are fully competitive with on-line offerings.  What is more, the $198 rate brings you benefits that you will not receive unless you make your room reservation via the Symposium.  These include the discounted overnight parking rates, waived resort fees, and other amenities such as free local calls and free wired Internet service (not wireless).

Furthermore, the Hotel gives us the free use of the auditoria and meeting facilities in recognition of the business we bring.  Without that, our very low registration fees would have to be increased.

The headquarter hotel, is willing to work with us on securing the best rate for our group. We ask your cooperation by booking your hotel through us.  Use the form on this web site to register and reserve your hotel room.  

If you see on-line rates at the Miami Beach Resort & Spa Hotel that are markedly lower than ours, please contact Sandra Black at sblack@miami.edu

Hotel cancellation policy - Deposits will be refundable until (3) three days prior to arrival.  Any cancellation received after this date will be subject to the first night's room rate.
