Hotel

The IMS2009 housing bureau is now closed. Please contact the hotels directly for all new reservations, cancellations and modifications. Please mention you are with the IEEE IMS2009.

A shuttle schedule to and from the convention center and the IMS official hotels can be downloaded here.

We wish to warn all attendees and exhibitors of IMS2009 that if they receive a call from a company called Convention Expo Travel, DO NOT BOOK A HOTEL WITH THIS FIRM.

Convention Expo Travel (2920 Green Valley parkway, Henderson, NV 89014), is calling potential attendees and exhibitors and suggesting that they represent the event. The company is not affiliated with IMS2009. They are not the housing bureau for the Symposium.

We recommend that you contact the official IMS2009 housing bureau directly at 732-297-5012.

Convention Expo Travel has currently 2 complaints with the Better Business Bureau of Nevada and other conventions have warned their delegates about the company's unscrupulous practices.

If you do receive a call from this company, DO NOT BOOK A HOTEL ROOM WITH THEM. IMS2009 does not recommend them in any form.
