Please reference the SLAS2024 Exhibit & Sponsor Service Center for details regarding move-in access before booking your hotel rooms.
SLAS has partnerships in place with the following hotels and service providers to provide conference delegates the best rates and convenience. SLAS has negotiated discounted rates at these hotels. While the hotel rates include a rebate to SLAS to help offset the costs of the Convention Center rental, to keep registration costs down, the negotiated rates are below standard guest rates quoted at the hotels if you are using the SLAS group discount site or code.
All hotels are adjacent to or within walking distance to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC). The Westin Boston Seaport District and The Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport are the closest to the space in the Convention Center where SLAS2024 will be held.
The deadline for booking hotel accommodations at the negotiated SLAS2024 rate is January 3, 2024. Bookings are based on availability and rooms may sell out before this date. Bookings made after this date will receive the group rate based only on individual hotel availability.
The SLAS Group Rate is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and availability changes regularly. As of December 7, there is limited availability at our partner hotels.

SLAS2024 has negotiated special rates and benefits for conference attendees at four of Boston’s premier convention center hotels.
Not only are these hotels conveniently located adjacent to the convention center, but SLAS2024 attendees benefit in several other ways:
By staying in the SLAS block of guest rooms, SLAS is able to contract premier facilities such as the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Additionally, you are helping the Society meet its contractual obligations to the hotels, avoid penalties and help to underwrite the cost of convention center rental, therefore keeping conference registration fees as affordable as possible. Your support of booking your room within the SLAS2024 room block is greatly appreciated.
Please be aware that exhibitors often are solicited by unaffiliated hotels or third-party housing agencies to book hotel reservations. SLAS2024 official hotels will not solicit you to make a reservation. While other hotel resellers may contact you offering housing for your trip, they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the SLAS event. Beware that entering into financial agreements with non-endorsed companies can have costly consequences. When SLAS is notified of these solicitations, we immediately demand a cease and desist of such practices.
Some companies to watch out for include:
Please report any unauthorized solicitations to SLAS (slas@slas.org) immediately.
These groups often advertise a lower rate than is promoted by SLAS for the official SLAS2024 hotels. In some circumstances these reservations have non-refundable or pre-payment requirements and harsh and unforgiving cancellation policies. In some cases, reservations do not even exist at the time of check-in at the booked hotel. For these reasons, and to support SLAS official partners, which helps to ensure a quality experience, we encourage you to book your reservations through the processes outlined on this website.
