Conference Hotel
Make sure to book your hotel stay at the Tempe Mission Palms conference hotel. The Tempe Mission Palms offers a free shuttle service to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to all hotel guests.
The Tempe Mission Palms hotel is at the center of the conference activity, and will allow you to network easily with other conference attendees. Also, it's a quick trip to get to the program and functions, and just as quick to nip back to your room for a break. Staying at the conference hotel will provide a better conference experience!
The Tempe Mission Palms is a fantastic conference venue, which will provide services, facilities, and support to host the TEI studios, demos, exhibits, plenary sessions, and other exciting activities at the conference. As the transaction for those services and support, the conference guarantees that a percentage of attendees will stay in the hotel. The contract with the hotel then guarantees a specific number of sleeping rooms will be used each night during the conference. If the conference does not meet the contracted sleeping room commitment, the hotel gets paid anyway. Those unfilled rooms will cost the conference thousands of dollars.
Please support TEI 2019 and the SIG by staying at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel!
