The reservation deadline is Friday, April 22, 2022. Reservations must be made by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on Friday, April 14, 2023. Check in at the The Westin Boston Seaport District is 3:00 p.m. and check out is by 12:00 p.m. While reservations must be made prior to April 14, 2023, to receive the $299 rate, there is no guarantee that rooms will be available should you wait until this date. CAS strongly suggests that you make your room reservations early to secure accommodations before the room block fills.
Important Information Regarding Official Spring Meeting Hotel:
The Casualty Actuarial Society is able to conduct high-quality meetings at desirable sites for a reasonable registration fee because a block of hotel rooms is reserved for meeting attendees. In exchange for filling the required number of sleeping rooms, the CAS is permitted to use the hotel’s meeting space at no cost, thus keeping registration fees low. In addition, meeting attendees receive a reduced rate for their sleeping rooms. We kindly request that all meeting attendees take advantage of the group rate and stay at the official Spring Meeting property, The Westin Boston Seaport District.
