ASC 2024 Housing Information

ASC has negotiated discounted group rates with the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City hotel for ASC’24 attendees which is in close proximity to the Salt Palace Convention Center. Hotel reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Please make your hotel reservation early as space is limited. The five (5) consecutive room nights policy has been lifted. Conference Group Rate rooms are available over the official dates of the conference; Sunday, September 1, 2024 – Friday, September 6, 2024. There are a limited number of rooms available on Saturday, August 31, 2024, for those attending short courses. Please book early if you plan to attend one of the courses on Sunday. Should the reservation link not accommodate this requirement, please contact ASC 2024 Conference Management by email.

The conference has not contracted hotel rooms for arrivals earlier than Saturday, August 31st or later than Friday, September 6th. If you wish to visit Salt Lake City prior to or following the conference, please contact the hotel directly to make a reservation for the dates of interest AFTER making your reservation for the conference at the Group rate.

If ASC’24 is advised at the time you make this second reservation, the hotel will make every effort to advise the front desk of your wish to remain in the same room over the duration of your stay. Please email asc@centennialconferences.com noting “Early/Late Reservation” in the subject field and in the body of the email, include the first and last name found on both reservations as well as both confirmation numbers.

RESERVATION DETAILS

Housing Poaching Alert

Please be vigilant if approached by any company or service other than ASC 2024 and Centennial Conferences that implies or claims to be the “Official Housing Provider and/or Travel Agency” for the ASC 2024. We have been made aware of housing and trade show companies (Conventioneers, LLC, Check-In Now) that may be aggressively pursuing you, or your company, to book your guest rooms through their company at supposedly significant discounts. These companies are typically trying to secure and steal your credit card information.

DEADLINE
The deadline to reserve a room at the ASC 2024 discounted rate has been extended to Tuesday, July 30, 2024. Although August 3 is the deadline, be advised that inventory is very limited. Please make your reservation early! After this date, reservations will be made on a rate and availability basis.

DEPOSIT/CANCELLATIONS/CHANGES/REFUNDS
The Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City will collect a credit card at the time of booking to guarantee your reservation. If cancellation is made within 72 hours of arrival, a one (1) night penalty plus tax will apply. A no-show charge of one (1) night’s room and tax will apply for individuals who fail to show for their confirmed reservation. The hotels will accept payment in the form of credit card, debit card or business check.

QUESTIONS OR SPECIAL REQUESTS
For questions or special requests, please contact the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City directly.

WAYS TO BOOK A SMALL GROUP BLOCK (5 OR MORE ROOMS)
Contact the Conference Manager, Paula Pair, at asc@centennialconferences.com.

WHY STAY AT THE OFFICIAL CONFERENCE HOTEL

The conference is holding a block of rooms at the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City and the room rate is offered at a discounted rate compared to the standard prices listed on the hotel’s website. In order to offer ASC 2024 attendees a discounted rate, the conference assured the Hyatt Regency that a certain percentage of attendees would book their accommodations at the hotel.

Unoccupied rooms not reserved by ASC 2024 attendees pose a significant financial risk to the conference, potentially amounting to a large deficit. This penalty not only impacts the current year’s conference but also hinder the negotiation process for future ASC conferences, resulting in less favorable hotel contracts.

ASEF/ASC secures discounted group rates to ensure a sufficient number of rooms, particularly during peak seasons. Without this guarantee, the conference risks incurring substantial expenses for room rentals, potentially leading to attendees booking accommodations far from the conference venue or facing increased registration fees. By securing rooms, attendees benefit from cost savings.

Help make this meeting a success. Book early and with the ASC 2024 Conference Hotel!

ASC 2024 Conference Chair Welcome

Welcome to ASC 2024 and welcome to Salt Lake City, Utah! On behalf of our organizing team, we are excited to invite you to join us at the Salt Palace Convention Center for the 2024 ASC Conference to be held September 1 – 6, 2024. Salt Lake City is a wonderful venue for our conference! The city is vibrant and offers numerous good restaurants, welcoming hotels and housing opportunities, and sights to explore (Utah is home to several, breathtaking national parks).
Our program chairs, Tiina Salmi and Hélène Felice, are preparing an excellent and exciting scientific program focused on the present and future of applied superconductivity and the numerous impacts our scientific endeavors can have on society at large.
In parallel, Anna Fox is leading our effort with the ELEVATE program offering opportunities for all participants for growth of both technical and professional skills. The ELEVATE program offers numerous opportunities for students and early career scientists to network and discover what a career in applied superconductivity might look like.
Overarching themes dear to us and connecting both the technical program and the ELEVATE program are our commitment to sustainability.
I hope to see you all at ASC 2024 in Salt Lake City!

Announcements

Poaching Alert: Please be vigilant if approached by any company or service other than ASC 2024 and Centennial Conferences that implies or claims to be an “Official Representative” for ASEF or ASC 2024.  If you receive such an approach, please report it immediately to ensure the integrity of our conference and protect your information.
ASC 2024 Program Chairs' Welcome

We are very proud to welcome you at the ASC 2024 in Salt Lake City! The conference will offer a forum for sharing and discussing the latest updates and news in the field of applied superconductivity.
As the world is in a transition period regarding future energy systems and our life choices (the way we live, move, eat, build and power things), we would like to instigate discussions on how superconducting solutions can contribute to a more sustainable world and what can be done as a scientific community. If relevant, we encourage you to consider highlighting sustainability in your own presentations, whatever the category of your contribution.
We are working together with the conference chair, the Large Scale, Materials and Electronics topical chairs and with the scientific program committee members to create an inspiring technical program and a welcoming event for all attendees. We encourage your suggestions, so feel free to contact us! Check back for updates as the program develops, and our wholehearted welcome to Salt Lake City!
PS. Abstract submission will open in December 2023.
– Tiina Salmi and Hélène Felice
