Due to the short time span between reservations and the event, we thank you very much for your understanding of our constraints. The team has worked hard to make this process as easy as possible for you and your delegation. We look forward in seeing you in Cali in a few weeks.

Room block requests will be treated on a first come first served basis. Multiple factors are to be considered for the reservation of your room block and the housing team will try their best to accommodate all your requests.

If delegates arrive for different portions of the summit, please make sure to include as much information as possible, for us to plan and place all groups. An option you will be presented with will be to make sub-groups for different arrival and departure
dates.
