Charles Wilson, IRPA 2024 Task Force
Well over 850 abstracts were reviewed for the IRPA 16/69th HPS Annual Meeting, which will be held in Orlando 7–12 July 2024. But the program organizers have focused on much more than just high-quality presentations. At this year's meeting, panels and opportunities for focused discussion are carved heavily into the program, required in nearly every session and sometimes the focus of the session. We are very confident this will be a meeting unlike any in recent Health Physics Society history. There are as many as six simultaneous tracks some days, and the program lasts through Friday morning. Register NOW!
The hotel block has continuously filled up unusually fast despite adding more room blocks and the Secretariat is comparing room reservations to registrations. We cannot add any more rooms on Wednesday and Thursday.
Our Program Committee recommendations:
- Go ahead and reserve the days the rooms are available in the block (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) at the time of this news article.
- Depending on the day you check, Rosen Shingle Creek has non-HPS rate rooms available from Wednesday on. You'll quickly notice the exceptional rate the HPS was able to negotiate and will see why we aren't able to add more.
- Alternatively, you can still reserve the days the rooms are available in the block (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) and then book one of the hotels down the street for about the same rate. Recommendations include:
- Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando-John Young Pkwy/S. Park
- Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando South Park
- Courtyard Orlando South/Grande Lakes Area
While this may not be ideal, this speaks highly of how well attended this meeting will be!
