lodging reservation with them.
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 any calls or correspondence you might have received to
Keystone Symposia and book only through lodging links in your Keystone Symposia account, an established travel agency
