The Hyatt Regency

The CBBS Annual Meeting has preferred rates for all attendees. We strongly encourage you to stay at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco which helps us offset the costs of meeting space, exhibit hall rental, food and beverage and many other costs associated with the annual meeting. These are sizeable costs to CBBS that must be covered. Attendees who stay in other hotels do not help offset these expenses, which puts CBBS at risk of financial penalties due to low sleeping room bookings. Your Hyatt reservation helps to keep our annual meeting fees reasonable, which is a benefit for you and your fellow CBBS members. Thank you.
