If your hotel reservations were made through the official housing bureau, Orchid Event Solutions, your reservation will automatically be canceled with no penalty.

If you booked directly with a hotel that was inside the ACSM housing block, you should be able to cancel at no charge as well; however, you will need to cancel the reservation yourself (the hotel will not automatically cancel it).

If you reserved a room at a hotel outside of the ACSM block, you need to cancel that reservation yourself.

For additional assistance, contact Abbie Ryan. 

Exhibitors will receive full refunds or may elect to transfer funds to the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you would like to transfer your funds to the 2021 meeting, please contact Anne Krug no later than April 24, 2020.

No further action is needed from you on this. If you would like to withdraw your abstract, we will need to hear from you on this by Monday, April 13. If you do not get in contact with us, it will be assumed that you want to proceed with having your abstract published in the MSSE Supplement.
