AIA and SCS members have received telephone calls and e-mails from individuals representing a company variously called “EHS”, "Exhibitors Hotel Services", “Global Housing”, or “Convention Housing Services”. These individuals are operating without the consent of either Society and are fraudulently representing themselves as AIA/SCS, the Hilton Hotel, or a housing service hired to process reservations for the joint annual meeting. They are not authorized in any way by the Societies to handle annual meeting hotel reservations and have no access to our discounted group block at the San Francisco Hilton.
No one at AIA, SCS, or the Hilton will ever call you via telephone asking you to book a hotel room, and you will not receive a solicitation via email from any of our affiliated hotels. The only official conference hotel is the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel located at 333 O’Farrell Street, San Francisco, CA 94102. Our rate is $155 per night plus taxes for attendees. Once the Hilton block is filled, we will offer a discounted rate at the Parc 55 San Francisco, a Hilton Hotel located across the street from the conference site at 55 Cyril Magnin Street, San Francisco, California, 94102. Our rate at the Parc 55 will be $159 plus taxes. Any offers from other hotels and/or travel agencies are not endorsed by AIA or SCS. We strongly urge attendees to use and book through the official housing web link (https://resweb.passkey.com/go/aia2016) on the AIA and SCS web sites.
The Societies would like to hear from any member who has been approached in this way. Please write to Andri Cauldwell at acauldwell@aia.bu.edu or Heather Gasda at heatherh@sas.upenn.edu.
