Hotel Update

Please note there is currently a workers' strike at some Boston hotels, including the Westin and Omni Boston Seaport. Given our advance planning, relocating or postponing the conference is not feasible.

The strike involves Unite Here (Local 26), which represents various hospitality workers. We anticipate no significant disruption to the conference itself, although you may see picket lines on public property outside the hotels. Hotel security and local police will be present for safety.

Please remember to bring your room keys and conference badges for access. Hotels will provide information about available services during your stay.
