WCMT 2023 Accommodations

The success of the 17th World Congress on Music Therapy depends on delegates, sponsors and exhibitors using the official housing bureau, International Conference Services Ltd. (ICS). Contracted room obligations cannot be met if registrants reserve rooms outside the official hotel or book hotels through channels other than the official Housing Secretariat. Rooms that are not filled through the official channels create an expense for the Congress in the form of financial penalties (attrition fees) and place the financial success of the Congress and the Association at risk.

A limited number of guest rooms through the Housing Secretariat (ICS) will be offered to delegates at a discounted rate and will only be available through the online registration form or link provided on your Registration Confirmation. You must register for the Congress before you can book your accommodation. Please do not contact the Hotel or make a reservation directly with the Hotel.

Rates are quoted in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and based on single or double occupancy excluding taxes + fees unless otherwise indicated.

WARNING: Please beware of housing piracy companies. They are contacting delegates/sponsors to book rooms through their channels and are claiming that they control the rooms for the Congress. They do not. These companies charge non-refundable deposits from the moment you book their rooms; thus, making it impossible for delegates to cancel their reservations. In some situations, rooms are not booked but payment has been taken.
