GENERAL CONFERENCE AND HOTEL INFORMATION

How do I learn more about this conference?

Simply fill out the information request form by clicking here and we will gladly send you additional information about the Realscreen Summit.

Is there a discounted hotel accommodation rate for Realscreen Summit attendees?

Accommodations are available at the Renaissance Washington D.C. Hotel for a preferred rate of US$205/night. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-266-9432 or 202-898-9000 and quoting "Realscreen Summit". Attendees can also book their accommodations online using the PASSKEY system by going to https://resweb.passkey.com/go/12AnnualRealScreenSummit This special rate will be offered based on hotel availability in the room block until 4:00pm on Friday January 15, 2011.

'Based on hotel availability in the room block' means that if by January 15th there are still rooms available in the block of rooms that we have set aside, the hotel will honor the $205 rate; it also means that if the block of rooms that we have set aside sell out before January 15th, then the hotel will take your booking at their prevailing rates. Last year the group room block sold out early (well before the cut off date), so it's best to book your room now to avoid disappointment.

Located in the heart of a pulsing, revitalized downtown, The Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel is ideal for experiencing the energy and allure of America's Capital City. Drawing inspiration from local history and culture, this luxury hotel in downtown Washington DC offers its own distinct story. As a unique choice among Washington DC hotels in the Penn Quarter District, it strategically sits between Capitol Hill and the White House - mere blocks from the Spy Museum, National Portrait Gallery, and the world-famous Mall monuments.

Can I sign up for “30 Minutes With...” and “Speed Pitching” on-site?

“30 Minutes With...” and “Speed Pitching” sessions fill up quickly well before the event, so sign-up is not facilitated on-site. Delegates will be informed via email when sign-up opens prior to the conference, and we recommend that you select and book your sessions at that time. However, if there is space available on-site, you may join these sessions on a first-come, first-served basis at the door.

What can I do if I didn’t make it into the session(s) I wanted during sign-up?

Don’t panic! Once the first round of lottery selections is closed, we will be running a second lottery early in January to give you another chance. You should sign up for your next top choices, and we encourage you to check MyEvent frequently as delegates sometimes make changes to their personal agendas, which may leave a session slot open. Also, you are welcome to check with our room monitor, located outside each session on-site.

Is there a waiting list for sessions?

There is no official waiting list. However, we do encourage you to check My Event frequently as delegates sometimes make changes to their personal agendas, which may leave a session slot open. Also, you are welcome to check with our staff on-site.

Can I switch/cancel sessions after I have already signed up for them?
