The Disneyland Hotel ~ Anaheim, California
The entire room block and conference will be at the Disneyland Hotel this year.

Hotel reservations are now being accepted for SETP's Annual Symposium & Banquet!  We recommend that you book a room early to ensure you receive the group rate, even if you are uncertain of your attendance.  You can always cancel the room if necessary (please review the hotel cancellation policy at the bottom of this page).  The last day to book a room at the group rate is 4 October 2021 unless the block sells out prior to this date, then prevailing rates may apply.  Rooms are subject to availability.  You can book your room using the reservation link below or by calling 714-520-5005 Monday-Friday from 8am-5pmPDT.

This year's entire room block, including the government rate room block, will be located at the Disneyland Hotel.  This is the only hotel where you can receive the negotiated group rate of $289/night or the government prevailing rate.  Please click HERE to book your room. (Technical Sessions & Banquet will be held at the Disneyland Hotel this year, 27-30 October 2021)

We have a small room block available to active duty military, DoD personnel, and US Federal Gov’t employees who require a government room rate, click HERE. The appropriate I.D. for government rate rooms will be required at the time of check-in.  These rooms are limited and need to be available to those who qualify. Note: You are not eligible for this room rate because you are retired military or because your company has a federal contract.

More information on the events and the registration site will be available in early to mid-August.  Information on specially priced theme park tickets will be posted on our website as soon as we have that from the Resort.
