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\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.narsc.org\/newsite\/conference\/accommodations\/\">page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals who are members of RSAI also receive discounted registration.
