Using the APS Room Block
There are always a lot of choices when selecting lodging while you are attending a meeting or conference. Making sure you have found the right selection at the right price is very important, especially with those on a budget.
Using a housing block is very important to both the attendee and the society. For the attendee it provides a discounted room rate that has already been negotiated by APS, and quick and easy access to the meeting/conference rooms and activities. For the society it provides valuable information on who is going to be attending the meeting, so enough seating is provided, food and beverages are adequate for the group size, and also to provide a history that can be used to better negotiate discounted sleeping room rates for future meetings and conferences.
Using a room block can also provide peace of mind during your stay at the meeting/conference location. Negotiated within the APS room block are obligations that the hotel must adhere to when providing a sleeping room to a guest. Including making sure that the guest who booked in the room block is provided a sleeping room, or if one isn’t available, to make sure that the guest is booked in another property that is of equal and/or comparable standards, and provide the necessary transportation to and from the new property to the meeting/conference venue each day the guest is displaced.
