A Note on Hotel Accomodations:
IFDA chose the Tampa Marriott Waterside hotel accommodations to ensure a quality and economical stay for our attendees. Staying at the host hotel provides many benefits:
> Just steps away from the Convention Center
> Streetcar service to great dining locations in the Latin Corridor in Ybor City.
> Easy to meet up with peers outside of scheduled events.
> By staying at this property, you help IFDA negotiate competitive convention center and hotel rates for future meetings, which impacts convention registration fees.
Please Note: We strongly recommend that you register for both the conference and your hotel room by SEPTEMBER 22. This is the discount cut-off for the conference early registration rate and the cut-off for the discounted room rate at the Tampa Marriott Waterside. If the room block fills before this date, the hotel is not obliged to offer the discount rate. Please use the discount code when making your reservation.
WE DO NOT USE HOUSING COMPANIES: IFDA does not contract housing companies for any events. If contacted by a company representing themselves as an authorized housing company for the conference, please note that these companies are not affiliated with the Distribution Solutions Conference. If you make arrangements through such a third party, you may wish to consider canceling those reservations and you should notify your credit card company to ensure that no unauthorized charges are lodged against your account.
