You will need to book accommodations directly with the hotel. Please use this link to obtain the conference rate: 

Le Westin Montreal    

These heavily discounted room rates will be available until September 1 (unless we sell out our room block before this date). Please book promptly. After that date, SESP will no longer control the room block, and the remaining rooms will be released to the hotel's general inventory at the normal (undiscounted) rate.  

Rooms can be booked at the conference rate from Monday, September 28, 2026, to Wednesday, October 07, 2026. Be aware that the link defaults to these dates, so you should shorten your stay if you intend to stay for a shorter term.
