Accommodations
A room block has been reserved for Tobacco and Vaping Control Forum delegates at the Brookstreet Hotel. To make your hotel reservation, contact the hotel directly and refer to the Group Code. Rates are guaranteed until 10 September 2020.
Booking your hotel within our room blocks is an important way to support the Association as we can incur significant costs for rooms that remain unsold. Staying “within the block” is also more convenient and helps you stay connected with the informal activities and networking opportunities that occur at the hotels during the conference.
