Every year, NARSC signs a contract with a hotel to serve as the venue for the conference. As part of the contract, NARSC promises to fill a certain number of room nights. If we fail to fill our contracted room block, NARSC must pay the full nightly cost of each unfilled room. This is the reason why we offer a discounted rate for conference participants who stay at the conference hotel. More information about how to book a room at the conference hotel is available on this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.narsc.org\/newsite\/conference\/accommodations\/\"><strong>page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals who are members of RSAI also receive discounted registration. This is one of the benefits of RSAI membership. If you are unsure about your RSAI membership status you can check it by looking at the RSAI Members List which can be found&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.regionalscience.org\/index.php\/join-us.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can pay for the conference using a credit card via our secure registration\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/narsc.meetingsavvy.net\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">portal<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<body style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
