Housing for GRAPH EXPO 2012 is Open!
Special Benefit for GRAPH EXPO 2012: No deposit charged at time of booking. A credit card is required to guarantee all room reservations and the hotel will charge a deposit 2-4 weeks prior to arrival.
GRAPH EXPO 2012 attendees receive the lowest rates, most ranging from $157/night to $239/night, at the most popular and convenient hotels in downtown Chicago. In addition to the specially negotiated rates, attendees who book their rooms through the official GRAPH EXPO housing service enjoy these benefits:
- If any official GRAPH EXPO hotel lowers its rates, or lower rates are found, GRAPH EXPO rates will automatically be lowered and new confirmations generated.
- No contract is required for exhibitor or group bookings.
- Complimentary shuttle bus service is provided for guests between the official GRAPH EXPO hotels and McCormick Place.
