Did you know?
Your support in staying at the Radisson Miami Hotel helps keep the conference costs down, which directly affects your registration fees. SIAM guarantees the hotel that we will fill a certain number of “room nights” (rooms per night) during the conference. SIAM incurs penalties if too many attendees opt to stay in other hotels in the area or neglect to indicate to the hotel that they are with the SIAM conference. At this time, conference costs do not include meeting room rental. If SIAM fails to fill the contracted room block, SIAM is then charged the cost for the meeting rooms on a daily basis, along with a hefty penalty. Future registration fees could increase to cover these additional risks.
Reservations
SIAM is holding a block of rooms at the Radisson Miami Hotel. These rooms are being held on a first-come, first-served basis at the following discounted rates. The group rate is guaranteed until the cutoff date unless the block fills prior to that. If there are rooms available after the cutoff date, they will be available at the best rate offered at that time.
Reservation Deadline – December 19, 2005 (or until the room block is filled)
Single/Double $125 per night plus 13% tax
Student rate $100 per night plus 13% tax
(Student ID must be presented upon check-in. SIAM is able to negotiate a limited number of special student rate rooms. Please book early as these rooms sell out quickly!)
All rooms based on availability.
All rates are subject to state and local occupancy taxes.
All rooms will be held for meeting attendee use through December 19, 2005 or until room block is full. Please be aware the room block fills quickly, so we suggest you make your hotel and travel plans early. Reservations will then depend upon availability. Your reservation is not confirmed until acknowledged in writing by the hotel or verified by phone.
When making reservations, be sure to identify yourself as an attendee of the SIAM SODA Conference. In order to get the SIAM group rate, please make your reservations via fax at (305) 714-3811 or mail the Hotel Reservation Form directly to the Radisson Miami Hotel.

Do not make your reservation on-line through the hotel web site, as this will not allow you to retain the SIAM group rate. Remember to get your confirmation number!
