Housing Scam Alert

SIAM does not share or distribute personal, registration or housing details with any company or person. Third-party solicitation of hotel reservations is not approved by SIAM, and any claim SIAM has provided attendee contact information for solicitation is fraudulent. Reservations offered by unaffiliated organizations may promise lower rates; however, they may be illegitimate, nonexistent, non-refundable, or have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties. If you book your hotel with a third-party provider, SIAM cannot assist you with any problems incurred as a result of booking outside the official SIAM room block. Please be aware of any unauthorized solicitations and report them to meetings@siam.org.
