Travel and Hotel

Fair Directors will make housing arrangements and coordinate travel for finalists and Adults in Charge. Room Blocks (for groups needing 9 or more rooms) will open on Wednesday, November 6th, 2024 and to all attendees on Tuesday, December 10th, 2024. Once the site is live, a link to the housing website will be available on this page.

In order to ensure that our attendees have access to double-bedded rooms, the Society for Science has contracted every double-bedded room at the properties listed above. Other websites or housing portals offering double-bedded rooms do not actually have those to sell; double-bedded rooms can only be secured at these properties through our designated housing bureau, Maritz.

Additionally, the Society has secured the lowest available hotel rates at the hotels closest to the convention center. Contractually, the Society must sell all of those rooms or will otherwise face a penalty. You should not contact the hotels directly, nor should you book on any alternative hotel or travel sites. We are also not working with any outside agents other than Maritz. If you are contacted directly by anyone offering you housing services or help securing a hotel, then please know those agencies are not working with the Society and that you may be exposing yourself to fraud.

Maritz Global Events, formerly Experient, is the Official Housing Provider for the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. Improper solicitation of hotel reservations from any company other than Maritz Global Events is not approved. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to have lower rates, however they may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please be aware of and report any unauthorized solicitation to your organization Society for Science or Maritz Global Events.
