"Exhibitors Housing Services", "Global Housing", etc. THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH KEYSTONE SYMPOSIA and are not
authorized by Keystone Symposia to contact you. These companies may tell you that the meeting is filling and seek to take
your lodging reservation and obtain your credit card number. We highly recommend that you not make a reservation with these
companies or any other housing service! These companies' representations to participants have been misleading. Please report
to Keystone Symposia any calls or correspondence you might have received and book only through the lodging link on our website,

requirements. This includes Passport and Visa requirements, documentation for re-entry into country
