Book your Official Accommodation

Showcare is the official Housing Bureau for ISCB's ISMB Conference. A link to book your hotel room online will be provided when you complete your conference registration. It is recommended that you book your hotel room early in order to take advantage of the special room rates that are subject to availability. ISMB 2024 success depends on attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors booking the conference hotels through the official Housing Bureau. Unfilled rooms create a financial risk in the form of penalties and can jeopardize the success of the association.

Please do not contact the hotels or make a reservation directly with the hotels. Discounted rates are only available through Showcare, the official Housing Bureau.
Please register for the conference before booking your accommodations.
