Retroviruses Conference: Caution, January 10 Housing Deadline; Registration Still Open

If you are going to the Retroviruses conference (10th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Feb. 10-14 in Boston), you must deal with housing through the conference, to prevent your registration from being cancelled. We are finding that not everyone knows this.

Only two groups are allowed to not rent a room at one of the six official hotels -- those staying with a friend or family member within 50 miles, and those sharing a room with someone else attending the conference. But still you must inform the conference that this is the case.

The easiest way to deal with the housing process is to click the customized link included with your emailed acceptance notice.

According to the Web site, registration is still open online, at http://www.retroconference.org (as of December 29). Registration and housing will close on January 10; registration will close earlier if the limit of 3,800 is reached.

Registration for this conference costs $650, plus $135 deposit for the first night's housing.
