Beware of Unauthorized Hotel Service Providers
It has come to our attention that several exhibitors, attendees, and members have been contacted by housing vendors who are offering to provide room rates and hotel services for JMIH. These companies are NOT affiliated with JMIH!

Attendees and exhibitors should be cautious of companies that:
• Call you directly and claim they are official housing partners and have the best rates for Spokane. JMIH will never call you directly to solicit hotel reservations.
• Claim to be affiliated with JMIH by offering discounted hotel rates, which often can be too good to be true.
• Ask you to provide your contact information and credit card details and require full prepayment in advance.
• Claim to have availability at their advertised hotels, but may take the money for the rooms, then later cancel without refunding to you.

Use the Roommate Finder to get in contact with other JMIH attendees that are looking to share a room and reduce costs! It is an excellent way to network, save money, and add value to the overall conference. You will submit rooming preferences, then will be sent an email when someone matches your criteria. We do not automatically assign roommates. After you have found a suitable roommate, you will then need to make reservations on your own.

Onsite oral presenters should submit their presentations to a speaker ready room representative at least a half day preceding their presentation. The Speaker Ready Room will be set up in Room Washington to receive presentations at the following times:

• Wednesday, July 12; 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Thursday, July 13; 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Friday, July 14; 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Saturday, July 15; 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Sunday, July 16; 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM

At the 1997 meetings in Seattle, it was decided that the Environmental Quality Committee (now the Conservation Committee) would develop recommendations to minimize the environmental impact of the Society’s activities. The committee has developed a list of possible actions relating to the annual meeting that can be implemented with minimal inconvenience to the organizing committee and to the membership at large. Many of these suggested actions are dependent on a decision by the Society as to whether and how much members are willing to trade off convenience for cost in the process of reducing environmental impacts (fortunately, many proposed actions are actually money-savers). Our objective in these “greening” efforts is to fulfill the general mission of the annual meeting in the most efficient, environmentally sound, and economic manner possible. For additional information about the ASIH Conservation Committee, contact Frank McCormick.

This year’s efforts in greening the meeting will include:

• Eliminate disposable plastic products to every extent possible.
• Use clip-on name tags that can be recycled. The name tag will be clipped to a recycled lanyard.
• Eliminate the meeting bag.
• Create a voluntary carbon-offset option as a check-off on the registration form. Individuals can contribute $10, or $20 to a local conservation organization to be selected by the local committee.

Order your JMIH 2023 t-shirt, long sleeve, or sweatshirt with your registration.
