Hotel Reservations

Use the on-line registration process or the following printed form to specify your preference as to hotel accommodations.  You should not contact a hotel directly to make a reservation. IMPORTANT: ALL hotel reservations must be accompanied by credit card information. Conference management is forwarding your preferences as a courtesy only. You will not have a guaranteed reservation until your credit card has been charged and you receive notification directly from Viajes Bellver, the conference’s hotel booking service. Any changes in your reservation must be made in writing to Viajes Bellver anja@vbellver.com; Av. Joan Miró, 3, E07014 Palma de Mallorca, SPAIN; fax +34.971.456 994. They can also assist in booking suites.

If you register on line, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation; you will also be prompted to print a copy of your summary page. Fax and mail-in registrations will be acknowledged by e-mail if you have provided your address. Please check your registration details carefully.

You are allowed to make additions to your on-line registration; if a change generates a refund, however, you must submit your request in writing by fax, mail or e-mail to info@gemworldevents.com, subject line ‘REGISTRATION CHANGE’. All cancellations for the conference and any optional events, including the field trip, must be made in writing; no exceptions. EXTENDED DEADLINE: 21 April.

All full cancellations will be assessed a €30 penalty. After 17 April, no refunds will be issued.
