Conference lodging:

In order to be reimbursed for the actual cost of lodging while attending a conference,

ALL of the following must be submitted :

1. Prior approval on section #4 (Conference lodging section) of the travel prior approval form must be marked and signed.
2. Documentation from the designated conference hotel(s) showing the designated conference rate. Usually this can be found on the conference website and/or conference registration form or agenda.

• If there are multiple designated conference hotels offering varying rates, the traveler may choose one of these as long as documentation detailed in #1 and #2 are submitted. Choosing the lowest available conference rate is strongly encouraged.
• If the designated conference hotel(s) is sold out, a statement of non-availability must be submitted. This is usually accomplished through an email directly from the host hotel(s) and/or a sold out statement on the conference website. In this scenario, reimbursement will be capped at the designated conference hotel rate (plus tax).
• If your conference does not have a designated conference hotel, reimbursement will be capped at the applicable tier city rate (plus tax).
