Official Hotels Drop Off/Pick Up Routes

As many of our Official Hotels are close to each other, the event transfers will run specific routes that group hotels together. 

The transfers will arrive at the advertised time at the first hotel on the route, pick up delegates and then proceed to the next hotel.  Volunteers will be on hand at dedicated desks in the hotel lobby to answer any specific questions you may have.
