Housing may be reserved at special convention rates through May 17, 2017, according to the registration site, at any of recommended hotels, which may charge deposits to credit cards on or after May 17.
The SBC will not offer shuttle service, according to the site, due to the recent decline in shuttle usage, close proximity of hotels, and the availability of “excellent local transportation options.”
