September 9, 2024 – Updated Information on Hotel Reservations for the Fall 2024 IEEE Insulated Conductors Committee Meeting
We are excited to invite you to the IEEE Power & Energy Society’s Insulated Conductors Committee (ICC) Fall 2024 meeting in Bonita Springs, Florida at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa October 20-23.
ICC meeting hotel reservations continue to be available to book using the link under ICC Meeting Hotel Information to receive the ICC discounted hotel room rate. Please note the ICC hotel will close the reservation link on September 30.
If you are considering staying at another hotel due to cost considerations, bear in mind that the ICC meeting hotel has waived the normal $37 per night resort fee and includes a discounted daily parking fee along with other amenities which will not be available at a non-ICC meeting hotel.
Since the Spring 2024 ICC meeting set a new attendance record and based on current ICC hotel reservation demand for the Fall 2024 meeting, it is therefore strongly encouraged that hotel reservations be made promptly as it is possible the hotel will sell out.
If the ICC hotel sells out, overflow hotels and reservation links will be provided. If you make reservations at the ICC hotel and later find that you cannot attend, before canceling your hotel reservation, please email Jennifer Quandel at JQuandel@hpnglobal.com so that your reservation can be exchanged for another ICC attendee who is on the ICC hotel wait list.
It has been reported that the hotel reservation system occasionally indicates no rooms are available for the ICC room block dates (especially Wednesday Oct. 23) even though there are rooms still available. The hotel is aware of this problem and is working on a resolution.
If this happens, please make your reservation for the nights that are available and then contact Jennifer Quandel at JQuandel@hpnglobal.com and she will assist with adding dates to your reservation.
