Other Hotel & Travel Details
Hotel Scam Warning
We are aware of companies pretending to be the “official" 2026 SSP Conference housing company, offering special non-refundable rates at meeting hotels, and requesting credit card information. There is NO “official" housing company for the 2026 SSP Conference; therefore, NO company is authorized to solicit directly by telephone for hotel bookings or special discounts. We encourage attendees to book their room directly via the link above to receive the special group rate for conference attendees. Please email the
SSP Registration Desk if you have any questions or concerns.
Attendees From Outside the United States
Attendees are encouraged to apply for a visa as soon as you are confident you will attend the 2026 SSP Conference. Some consulates may have backlogs in scheduling visa interviews, so applicants should contact the consulate directly to determine wait times or visit the
U.S. Visa website.
Invitation letters will
only be issued to confirmed registrants including those who have paid the meeting registration fees, have submitted an abstract, or are otherwise presenting. When you register for the meeting, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to auto-generate a customized visa invitation letter. If you are unable to register early enough to begin the visa process and have submitted an abstract, please complete the
invitation letter request form. Invitation letters generated using the request form are identical to the letters created when registering, however they are manually created and may take up to 5 business days to be processed.
All applicants must be able to qualify for a visa on their own merits. SSP cannot intervene with embassies in other countries on behalf of any meeting participants. If you require an invitation letter prior to registering or if you have additional questions, please contact the
SSP Registration Desk.
