Due to the limited travel and training budgets many organizations are experiencing, participants often look for ways to cut the overall cost of attending in person meetings.  One technique is to use Internet hotel consolidator or online booking sites to find the least expensive room rates.  Some of those sites are:

	Hotel Comparison Sites	Please be sure to read the fine print when using hotel comparison sites.  Once the rooms are reserved, they may be non-refundable.
	http://www.expedia.com
	http://www.hotels.com
	http://www.orbitz.com
	http://www.quikbook.com
	http://www.travelocity.com

While using these sites has had a positive outcome for some individuals and businesses, it often has had a detrimental impact on the bottom line of meetings for both large and small organizations since it is through guaranteed room nights that hotels accept bookings and provide discounts for renting meeting rooms and determine the cost of food, beverage, and equipment.  Despite this reality, AIMS is delighted to be able to provide this meeting at an affordable price. 

AIMS does not endorse any of the hotels or booking companies mentioned herein, but provide them for your consideration and convenience.

If you have any difficulties in securing a room, please contact us at info@medsim.org or 202.230.5091 and we will do our best to assist you.
