WHERE REVOLUTIONARY THINKING IS NOTHING NEW

HousingINDA has secured room blocks in several major hotels in Boston at special discounted rates. Please note, there is not a hotel adjacent to the convention center!

D. VanEvery & Associates will coordinate housing for IDEA16. Reservations will NOT be accepted directly by the hotels. Reservations must be made through D. VanEvery & Associates by going to www.dvanevery.com/idea or by mail.

It is important that you make reservations no later than April 1, 2016. Room reservations may be made at these rates as long as rooms are available in the group block and reservations are made prior to April 1, 2016. After April 1, 2016, rates and room availability cannot be guaranteed. All rates are non-commissionable. Hotels fill up quickly, so make your reservation early!

You must guarantee your reservation with a major credit card. Cancellations must be made in accordance with hotel policy (noted on your hotel confirmation) or your credit card will be charged. Every effort will be made to accommodate your hotel preferences, but in the event that the requested hotel(s) are unavailable, you will be assigned to an alternative hotel.

HOUSING – HOTEL RESERVATION SCAM INFORMATION

The IDEA16 Housing Bureau agent is D. VanEvery & Associates.

This is the only official Housing Bureau for IDEA16 and they are processing all hotel reservations for the event. Any communications coming from @dvanevery.com or identified as IDEA16 – Housing Bureau are valid. Please do not give your credit card information or make any reservations with any other housing bureau, housing company, or convention housing company appearing to represent IDEA16, the IDEA16 Housing Bureau, and/or INDA.

These companies, frequently based out of Las Vegas and Eastern Europe, call themselves names like Exposition Housing, Expo Housing Group and Convention Housing. Each gives an impression that they are offering lower rates for hotel rooms, but they are a SCAM. We are not able to verify the authenticity of such companies, and will not be able to provide resolution to issues related to these fraudulent reservations. The IDEA16 Housing Bureau will ask for a credit card to guarantee reservations.

If anyone contacts you, offers you lower rates, and asks you to provide a credit card to PRE-PAY the reservation, then it is almost certainly to be a SCAM. If someone requires you to PREPAY the cost for the entire stay, it is NOT the official IDEA16 Housing Bureau.

Again, please do not contact the hotels directly. The hotels cannot make reservations in the IDEA16 room block; reservations must be made through D. VanEvery & Associates. Please note that the number of rooms reserved through the official hotel block determines INDA’s ability to get first priority for the preferred IDEA dates for future shows.
