To cancel a hotel room reservation, you must work directly with Sheraton Grand.
Hotel
Attendees are responsible for reserving their hotel room at the Sheraton Grand. Traditional Double Bed rooms and Deluxe Water View Double Bed Rooms are all $139 per night for single or double occupancy as part of a discount room block. Those reduced rates are available from Monday, January 20, 2020, through checkout on Friday, January 24, 2020. This is longer than the conference but made available if individuals/groups want to stay longer for meetings or recreation.
Parking in the secure, underground lot at the hotel is $20 per day. When you arrive tell the attendant that you have the special $20 rate and you will be billed accordingly.
Transportation
Transportation from the airport to the hotel is the responsibility of each attendee. There are multiple options from either O’Hare International Airport or Midway International Airport and you should expect it to take about an hour depending on traffic and the type of transportation you choose.
