MOBILITY ASSISTANCE

If you have limited mobility and require assistance getting back and forth between your hotel and the Sonesta (SEJ’s conference center/hotel), please indicate that when registering online (not yet available). SEJ will arrange a small shuttle for attendees with special needs. Please let us know two weeks in advance if you have a disability that requires special arrangements in order to participate.

 


SPECIAL-DIET MEALS

Please be aware that if you register after March 9, it’s likely that special-diet meals will not be available.

All catering is arranged in advance, with final catering numbers given to the hotel at least seven days before the event so the hotel can order the necessary food. We always order extra special-diet meals, but these are given out on a first-come first-served basis. If you have severe restrictions and are registering after March 9, please email sej@sej.org.

SEJ will make every effort to accommodate special dietary needs. However, we can’t guarantee that your needs will be met for every meal. Please approach all meals with your usual caution.
