Accommodations

Several hotels near the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts SRI 2003 meeting site have set aside blocks of rooms for conference attendees. To receive the conference rate, please contact the hotel of your choice to make a reservation and tell them you will be attending the SRI 2003 meeting.

Note: The cutoff date for making reservations at the hotels listed below is July 25, 2003.
Please make your reservations as soon as possible! Reserving hotel rooms in San Francisco during the summer months can be extremely difficult and expensive. As soon as the blocked rooms are full, local hotels cannot guarantee additional rooms or the conference room rates. (Our blocks of rooms at the Marriott and Sheraton Palace hotels are no longer available.)
