Local Hotel
The IOCDF has negotiated a discounted rate ($215/night on 11/5, 11/6, and 11/7) at the Boston Marriott Copley Place, located at 110 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA, 02116. Further instructions regarding making reservations to follow at time of registration. This reduced rate expires on October 15, 2015, so please book your reservation before then to take advantage of this discount.
Local Transportation
Attendees who will be flying to the BTTI 2 should fly to Logan International Airport in Boston, MA. The Marriott is less than 4mi away from Logan, so taking a taxi from the airport will be the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation (estimated fare is $40 one way). The Marriott is located less than a mile away from several MBTA public transit stops – Copley (green line), Prudential (green line), and Back Bay (orange line). Local registrants should consider using public transportation to get to and from the training site, as parking rates at the Marriott are very high. Valet parking at the Marriott is $53/day, and offsite self-parking in a nearby garage is $37/day.
Cancellation/Refund Policy/Replacement Certificate
If accepted, you understand that this registration fee is non-refundable. There will be no exceptions for medical, travel, or professional emergencies. For replacement continuing education certificates requested after the end of the BTTI 2 (you will receive one at the training as part of the registration fee), there will be a $25.00 processing fee.
