The booth will NOT include electrical (for regular exhibitors), janitorial, lead retrieval, wired ethernet drop, audio-visual, or any other special services. These services may be ordered via the exhibitor services kit, or via the third-party forms listed below.

A la carte orders for electrical drops, monitors, and other AV, and lead retrieval can be ordered directly with these forms:

Housing

USENIX has negotiated a special room rate of $239 per night plus tax for single/double occupancy for conference attendees. The hotel reservation discount deadline is Monday, October 9, 2017, 5:00 pm PDT, or until the room block sells out—whichever occurs first.

ATTENTION: USENIX never sells or rents your contact information. All communications regarding your registration will come via email from conference@usenix.org. We do not contract with third-party housing or travel associations, and outreach or calls from such parties should be considered spam. Do not book via companies such as "Expo Housing Services" or "Exhibition Housing;" they use aggressive and unwelcome calling practices, compromise your credit information, and are not affiliated in any way with USENIX or LISA. Please make your hotel reservations directly with the Hyatt Regency San Francisco or call 888.591.1234 and mention "USENIX" or "LISA17."

Expo Booth Staff Registration

You may staff your Expo booth with up to five people. If you plan only to staff your company's LISA17 Expo booth and not attend any of the main training or conference program, please select 'Exhibitor' registration at this link: Exhibitor Registration.
