Practical Information

Kingston is a popular tourist destination in the summer and offers a variety of accomodation options. We have reserved a number of rooms on the Queen's University campus for conference participants. These rooms are of hotel quality and are more affordable compared to summer hotel rates in Kingston. Participants are encouraged to book their accomodations early.

Queen's Campus Residences (near conference venue)

We are holding a room block for a number of units at the Smith House on campus from Tuesday the 21 August to Saturday 25 August . The climate controlled premium units are available for $109 per night for two adjoined rooms ($54.50 per person!). The building is a short walking distance to the conference venue, the lakefront, and downtown Kingston. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this accommodation option. Rooms will be secured for conference guests until Saturday 7 July 2018, so please book early.
