Why It Is Important to HFES for Attendees to Reserve Accommodations in the HFES Room Block?

Staying at the HFES meeting hotel does the following:

  1. Shows your active support to HFES, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Every cent counts for a non-profit organization of our size. 
  2. Greatly reduces HFES meeting expenses - helping HFES route funds to other member-oriented initiatives vs. hotel fees
  3. Helps us negotiate with hotels for future rates - making hotel rates for future events cheaper for you!

When HFES does not meet the allotted room guarantee at the hotel, significant penalties are charged to our society. These penalties can raise registration fees for upcoming meetings and hotels for future rates. Please support your professional society and stay in the HFES room block.
