Please note there will not be Shuttle Bus service between the Hotels and Venue for the 2025 Show.
The reasons are to:
We have consistently heard how important and appreciated the low room rates are. As well, in recent years we have received a high amount of feedback that most Exhibitors & Attendees have been shifting to use Uber/Lift/Taxi services; or drive their own vehicle between the hotels and venue. Many do not want to wait times required to operate shuttle buses in the city
To maintain the low rates, the hotels are no longer able to offer shuttles. To operate a 9-day shuttle service with the number of buses required to meet the expectations of minimal wait-times, would put the rates at $50-$75 per night, per room, higher.
