Book Your Hotel
Reserve your preferred hotel with onPeak to receive reduced-rate hotel rooms for the 2020 ASCRS Annual Meeting, the 2020 ASOA Annual Meeting, the Technicians & Nurses Program, ASCRS Refractive Day, ASCRS Glaucoma Day in Boston, May 15-19, 2020 and World Cornea Congress VIII in Boston, May 14-15, 2020.
When reserving hotels for the 2020 ASCRS ASOA Annual Meeting, be sure to do so through onPeak, the officially-endorsed vendor for this multi-faceted meeting. To view or book available hotel/travel deals through onPeak, you may do so safely via the link below. We have received reports that other companies – not affiliated with ASCRS or ASOA – are posing as official hotel vendors.
ASCRS and ASOA only guarantee hotel room rates or availability during the show dates for reservations made through onPeak. Reservations made outside of the official 2020 ASCRS and ASOA Annual Meeting hotel block can be risky. Other unofficial vendors may require that rooms be fully prepaid; that charges are non-refundable and/or be subject to steep change fees; and room types may not be guaranteed. In the past, ASCRS and ASOA attendees have encountered situations with travel vendors that were either unlicensed or went out of business after taking reservations and deposits, leaving individuals stranded without hotel rooms and transportation, and resulting in lost deposits. If you have any questions, please reach out to the ASCRS Meetings Department.
Important Notice Regarding Hotels: onPeak is the only officially-endorsed hotel service provider for the 2020 ASCRS and ASOA Annual Meetings.
