Hotel Cards
Whether you select one of the hotels below or another hotel of your own choosing, we request that you fill out a hotel information card at the IETA registration desk.
Filling out this card helps us offset the cost of the conference; the number of hotel rooms utilized in the area for the conference affects the price IETA pays for the conference facilities. Your help with this is appreciated.
