PCRS has arranged an extensive room block at Renaissance Indian Wells in Indian Wells, California. Once the block is full or closed, PCRS will not be able to assist you with room reservations. You must register to attend the PCRS 66th Annual Meeting in order to make a room reservation at the PCRS Group rate. PCRS recommends Palm Springs International Airport.
Rooms in the Palm Springs area during this peak period can be very hard to find and rates available to the general public may escalate significantly as the meeting date draws near. We urge you to register for the meeting and book your rooms as early as possible. |
A limited number of scholarship funds are available to physicians in training who are in an approved REI program, licensed genetic counselors, and limited lab staff. Follow this link for additional information and an application form.
Because of current travel regulations, all individuals requiring a visa to enter the United States are urged to begin making travel arrangements and obtaining necessary papers by November 2017 to attend the meeting in March 2018. A letter of invitation will be sent to you upon receipt of written request (e-mail is acceptable). A letter of invitation does not imply any financial support by PCRS.
All participants (attendees, faculty, guests, exhibitors) must register and wear identifying badges to all sessions and events. To obtain name badges, spouses, guests and additional family members must also be registered. NO BADGE = NO ENTRY. NO exceptions.
All meeting fees must be paid in US funds.
