What’s Inside

Importance of Booking Inside the Room Block

Booking a room within the TPS room block is an important way to support the TPS and helps to keep the overall meeting registration fee and costs as low as possible. Booking “outside the TPS block” or at another hotel could expose TPS to monetary damages. Plus, staying in the hotel keeps you connected with all the activities and networking opportunities during the event. Please “help us help you” by booking your room at the Kalahari and reserve your room within the TPS room block.

Parking

Self-parking is complimentary for those registered for the meeting and valet is available for $39.99 per day.
