ICS is the official housing bureau for the IASLC 2019 World Conference on Lung Cancer and will offer assistance with the coordination of housing requirements for the Conference. Special room rates have been negotiated.

The success of IASLC and WCLC 2019 depends on delegates, sponsors and exhibitors using the official Conference hotels by booking through the official housing bureau. WCLC 2019 cannot meet contracted room obligations if delegates reserve rooms outside the official hotel. Rooms that are not filled because of that create an expense for IASLC in the form of financial penalties (attrition fees) and place the financial success of the Conference and the Association at risk, which increases with each booking outside the Conference hotel or booking through channels other than the official housing bureau.

For any inquiries regarding accommodation for the IASLC 2019 World Conference on Lung Cancer, please contact our Housing department at wclc2019-housing at icsevents.com or visit the Accommodation Page.

If you have a group of 10 or more, please contact the Group Coordinator at wclc2019-groups at icsevents.com.

We have also been made aware that there are certain companies calling delegates saying that there are issues with the hotel reservation they have made for the conference and then requesting credit card information. In some situations they are saying that they can get lower rates and need their original confirmation email in order to make the changes.

Be aware that they do not have room blocks at the conference hotel. Please do not provide them with any details of your reservation and do not give them your credit card details. If you have been approached, please email us at wclc2019-housing at icsevents.com immediately with details of the situation.

Do NOT provide them with your credit card/personal information/ confirmation emails.
