    • Eligibility for accommodation support

    • AMICAL members hotel support (start) 

    • Accommodation at the conference hotel, for the nights surrounding your conference attendance and including breakfasts, is covered for you by our sponsorship program. Read the conditions on the financial support page carefully before using this form to request accommodation, as you will be held financially responsible for any fees beyond what is covered by AMICAL.

    • Invited speaker hotel support (start) 

    • As an invited speaker, AMICAL is able to provide accommodation at the conference hotel, including breakfasts. Lunch will be provided on all conference days, and an all-conference dinner will be provided on April 1st. We will cover these accommodations for an arrival up to 2 days before your first day of conference attendance, until departure the day after your last day of conference attendance (ignore conflicting instructions about arrival dates below, which are intended for other attendees).

    • Non-AMICAL hotel (start) 

    • You will be responsible for all your hotel costs, but we encourage you to book at the conference hotel, as that will enable you to take advantage of the shuttle bus to campus.

      • After submitting this form, any changes, cancellations, or questions about your booking should be sent to auslibrary@aus.edu

Details about billing, as well as fees for changes or cancellations, will be sent after the close of registration. See Financial support if you have questions about what costs are covered by AMICAL.
      • Because our group booking must be settled at close of registration, you will be responsible for any fees that result from changes to your booking after registration closes, even if you are covered by financial support.
      • All rooms have only one bed. If you have special requirements (e.g. you are traveling with an accompanying person), explain your request below.
      • We will be requesting exact arrival/departure information later; here, simply provide your arrival/departure dates based on your expected days of conference participation indicated above, taking into account:
