Hotel & Travel

When attendees book within the World Workplace housing block, it allows us to demonstrate the value of our conference to the host city, and therefore be eligible for significant discounts at local hotels and reduced meeting room rentals charged at the convention center. The fee to provide housing services to you is incorporated in the room rate. The discounts World Workplace receives are, in turn, passed on to you in the form of lower registration costs.

Carlson Wagonlit is the official housing bureau for IFMA's World Workplace 2010 Conference & Expo. To qualify for the special conference rates, hotel reservations must be made and processed by Carlson Wagonlit (CWT). If you contact the hotels directly, you will be told that they are sold out.

Telephone reservations will not be accepted; however, if you have any questions, please contact CWT toll-free at +1-888-400-4362 or by e-mail at ifma@carlsonwagonlit.com (please identify yourself as an IFMA's World Workplace attendee).

Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) is the official housing bureau for IFMA's World Workplace. The housing bureau will only book rooms at hotels within the block using previously negotiated rates that IFMA contracted years in advance. In most cases, CWT will contact World Workplace attendees and exhibitors only after hotel rooms have been secured. CWT will not contact you via telephone unless you contacted them first and asked them to return your call. If you are contacted by a housing provider other than Carlson Wagonlit Travel, please contact IFMA immediately by e-mail at events@ifma.org or by phone at +1-713-623-4362, ext. 180.

Please note that unofficial housing providers are often unable to provide complete services related to the show that are available through the official housing provider. Show Management works to prevent unauthorized solicitation of IFMA members and exhibitors and will pursue these companies to prevent future contact.
