Blocks of rooms are negotiated at special rates at the Doubletree Hotel and Inn at the Convention Center under “North Pacific Marine Science Organization – 2010 PICES Annual Meeting”.

Participants should make their reservations directly with the hotel by
September 15, 2010
for guaranteed room availability and discounted rates.

The Inn at the Convention Center is sold out. Please note that the room rate at the Doubletree Hotel is the same for single and double occupancy, so there are substantial savings if a room is shared.

Travel arrangements and hotel bookings are the participants’ own responsibility. The PICES Secretariat does not have the capacity to assist in making any bookings.
