HotelThe 2026 conference hotel will again be the Irvine Marriott (18000 Von Karman Ave, Irvine, CA 92612). Reservations can be made at our group rate ($159/night) at the link here. This will also allow you to receive a discounted parking rate of $29/night.Rooms are available until December 19th or until the block sells out. If rooms are unavailable or you would like to add on additional nights before or after our block, please contact Rachael Barry (rmbarry@uci.edu) and we will see what we can do. The conference itself will take place on the UC Irvine campus so you are free to stay at any hotel. But we will have shuttle service to/from campus only at this hotel.
FlightsWe recommend that you fly into John Wayne Airport (less than 5 miles to UC Irvine).

Childcare Grant:
For those needing assistance with childcare, SABER West is offering $200 childcare grants on a first-come, first-serve basis. All expenses will require formal documentation (e.g. airline ticket receipt, daycare receipt, etc) and funds will be provided after the conference.
Examples of acceptable expenses include (but are not limited to): cost of a babysitter either at home or in Irvine or non-car transportation to the meeting for a caregiver (flights, trains, etc). For any caregiver accompanying the attendee to the conference, they are welcome to eat the conference meals for free, please just make us aware this will be happening in advance.
To apply for the childcare grant, please complete the following form. You will be notified when abstract submission and registration opens as to whether you have received access to these funds. Once notified, you will need to register for the conference within 1 week or the funds will be made available to another participant.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Wilton (mikewilton@ucsb.edu).
