Exhibitor Housing

Exhibitors are allowed to reserve seven rooms per 10 ft. x 10 ft. (100 sq. ft.) booth. A maximum of five rooms per exhibitor may be reserved at the co-headquarter hotels.

Assigned booth numbers are required before making a hotel reservation through SfN Housing. Exhibitors receive booth numbers after they are approved to exhibit.

Note: Exhibitor hotel registration does not require a six-character unique registration confirmation number; the confirmation number only applies to attendee housing.

The online exhibitor housing request form will be available on July 23.

For any questions concerning managing room blocks online, contact SfN Housing at SfNSupport@cmrus.com, or call (866) 999-3093 (US and Canada) or (415) 268-2091, Monday — Friday, 9 a.m. — 9 p.m. ET.

Be aware that you may receive improper solicitations from fraudulent agents posing as Neuroscience 2024 vendors, offering deals on hotels*, attendee lists, advertising, and other Neuroscience 2024-related goods and services.

All legitimate communications of this sort will come from SfN directly, or from one of SfN’s Official Vendors.

*Though housing poachers typically offer a lower rate than the official block rate, their cancellation policies are often harsh and unforgiving. These tactics make it difficult for SfN to negotiate the best possible rates for future meetings. We encourage booking housing accommodations using Convention Management Resources (CMR), the official housing company for Neuroscience 2024. Please note that exhibitor housing will open July 23 through CMR.

Exhibitors must use the online exhibitor hotel block request form for eight or more reservations. The online exhibitor block request form will be available on July 23.
