The following policies and procedures apply to the official APSS hotels for the SLEEP 2009 23rd Annual Meeting on June 6-11, 2009, in Seattle, Washington.

• Housing and Group Block Requests will be accepted beginning February 2, 2009.
• The deadline to submit housing requests is April 22, 2009.
• All group blocks of 10 or more sleeping rooms require written approval from the APSS. Approval will be issued via e-mail. In order to receive approval, submit the housing request form on page 22 to the APSS Meeting Department via fax to (708) 273-9354 or via e-mail to Amber Josi, Meeting Planner, at ajosi@aasmnet.org. Approval is required prior to making reservations with the SLEEP Housing Bureau.
• The APSS will only approve a block if it is equal to or less than the number of rooms that the group utilized during the previous year’s annual meeting. If exhibiting companies require additional accommodations, please provide the rationale on the housing request form.
• After receiving approval from the APSS, arrange your company’s accommodations with the SLEEP Housing Bureau. You will be asked to provide a credit card deposit to hold the reservation.
