Accommodations

The IPAC’24 event will be held at the Music City Center in downtown Nashville. We have secured a block of rooms at the Omni Hotel Downtown Nashville for our attendees.

The Conference Registration does not include hotel accommodations. The IPAC’24 Local Organizing Committee has negotiated a reduced rate of $309 per night for attendee’s accommodations. This rate extends three days before and three days after the conference (assuming room availability, please check regularly), so we encourage attendees to come early or stay late to explore the surrounding area. Attendees traveling under GSA rules should contact the hotel to request the GSA rate.

Adjacent to the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, Omni Nashville Hotel is a modern expression of the city’s distinct character. Combining sophisticated accommodations, expansive meeting spaces and multiple amenities, there is no better downtown Nashville hotel for a memorable trip to Music City. Enjoy southern-inspired all-day dining at Kitchen Notes, reserve a table at Bob’s Steak & Chop House to sample the finest steaks and wines and shop for local goods at Five and TENN. When it’s time to relax, visit Mokara Spa for an indulgent massage or relaxing body wrap. Located near Ryman Auditorium, Music City Center, Bridgestone Arena, and iconic Broadway, this hotel in Nashville, TN puts you center stage in our charming city.

The early reservation cut-off date is April 23,2024, at 5:00p.m. Central time. Reservations received after this date will be accepted by the Hotel on a space available basis at the conference rates. We encourage you to make reservations as early as possible to ensure availability.

Why Stay at the Official Conference Hotel? 
The conference guarantees the hotel that a certain percentage of attendees will stay in that hotel. The hotel holds a block of rooms for our attendees at a generally discounted rate from their normal charges. 

If the conference does not meet the contracted sleeping room commitment, the hotel gets paid anyway. Unfilled rooms can cost the conference thousands of dollars. Not only do these financial penalties hurt the current year’s conference, but the next conference in the series cannot negotiate as beneficial a hotel contract. In both cases, the registration fee is then under pressure to increase unreasonably. 

What if we don’t contract for sleeping rooms? Attendees will pay more to stay at the conference hotel. The conference will incur additional expenses for meeting room rental fees, which can be quite costly. The hotel will not hold a block of rooms for attendees, which may leave some people quite a distance from the conference venue. In short, the conference ends up with higher expenses; many of those attending will pay a higher price for their hotel rooms, future conference registration fees will be pushed higher. 

Please support the conference, APS, and IEEE NPSS by staying at the conference hotel.
