Hotel Accommodations and Air Travel If you are offered financial support and are not a US Citizen or Resident Alien, you must enter the country on the appropriate visa to be reimbursed for hotel and travel expenses. Similarly, if you will be on an H1-B visa at the time of the program, please let us know immediately since there are restrictions and arrangements must be made in advance with your visa sponsor. Hotel Accommodation: We have reserved a block of rooms for the week of the workshop at a special rate of $139/night (around $158 with tax) at Hotel Angeleno in Brentwood. It is located about a mile from IPAM just off the 405 Freeway at the Sunset exit; a shuttle bus will be arranged to transport you to IPAM each morning. Hotel Angeleno 170 N.

If you call, be sure to request the IPAM rate. In order to maintain this advantageous rate for all of our participants, we ask you to stay at the Hotel Angeleno if at all possible. Rooms will be blocked until October 23, 2006. Airline Travel: Please note the following guidelines for your travel reimbursement. Federal regulations require that travelers must book and ticket their flight through a US carrier. This means that your flight must either be on a US airline, or if operated by a foreign airline the ticket must be issued by a US airline partner. Subject to this requirement, you should endeavor to obtain the best direct route, economy, round trip fare. If you are unable to find a ticket at an appropriate price, contact us before booking. Information on our policies and guidelines for visas, travel, and reimbursements is on our website. We strongly suggest you review this information as needed. Please contact our visa coordinator office for any visa related questions.
