OFFICIAL CHI 2012 HOTELS
CHI 2012 works hard to make sure that the conference rate is
competitive, and monitor the hotel’s other rates to make sure that our
attendees are receiving the best deal. Your stay helps SIGCHI meet our
obligation to the hotel, allowing us to keep registration rates low.
In order to obtain the special conference rate, which includes in-room
internet, attendees must make hotel reservations through the Austin
Housing Bureau, the official housing bureau for CHI 2012. We offer four
hotels, including the conference headquarters Hilton Austin, which is
just across the street from the convention center.
