Why stay at the official conference hotel?
Staying at the official conference hotel benefits both you and STC. Here are a few reasons to stay in the Hyatt Regency Columbus for the Summit.
- Convenience. All education sessions and Summit events are within the hotel, so no cabs or long walks needed to participate.
- Networking. There are so many informal networking opportunities beyond the official conference hours. Impromptu dinner parties start in the hotel lobby, hotel restaurants are full of Summit attendees, and the hotel bar is packed well into the night with all sorts of conversations, debate, and networking. You’ll bump into technical communicators from around the world in all parts of the hotel.
- Help keep Summit prices down. Meeting our contracted room block enables STC to continue to negotiate affordable room rates for future meetings. Based on the number of rooms blocked, hotels will provide complimentary meeting space, which enables STC to offer discounted registration fees for a longer period of time.
- Assistance from STC. By staying at the official conference hotel, you’ll have STC’s assistance if there is a problem with your hotel reservation.
