TechCon Venue

 Room blocks and discounted rates have been organized for TechCon attendees. These accommodations are available at:

• $309 USD (double occupancy) – Hyatt Regency Long Beach Hotel, 200 S. Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802
  • Located on a premier waterfront spot in the heart of downtown, Hyatt Regency Long Beach is the only 4 Diamond Award-winning Long Beach, California, hotel with  rooms and suites offering ocean or harbor views. The Hyatt Regency Long Beach is connected directly to the Long Beach Convention Center and will house the majority of the TechCon’s social events as well as meeting space/classrooms for the TechCon TFB and tutorial programs.

• $319 USD (double occupancy) – Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach Hotel, 285 Bay Street, Long Beach, CA 90802
  • Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach pays homage to the fascinating history of The Pike, an amusement park founded in 1902 that was a thriving destination for its bathhouse, wooden roller coaster, arcades and exciting family fun until 1979. This luxe hotel possesses a rooftop pool and bar with 360° panoramic views, places you in the middle of the neighborhood action so you can explore Long Beach’s bustling shopping areas, non-stop nightlife and the rolling surf of California’s Pacific Ocean. The hotel is a two-minute walk from the Long Beach Convention Center.

Important note! Discounted room rates are available exclusively with the dedicated hotel links below. The SVC does not engage with any third-party companies to provide hotel accommodations. Be aware that in all cases, organizations representing themselves as affiliated with the SVC when it comes to hotel accommodations for the TechCon are likely to have malicious motives leading to a nefarious outcome if you rely on them.

In order for us to secure meeting and exhibition space of this quality, we must commit to a sizable room block and if we come up “short”, we are contractually obligated to pay for every unused room night at the full price! As you can imagine, that is an incredible financial commitment, one that we are happy to make in order to provide the experience that everyone expects from an SVC TechCon. Once again, we are adopting a proactive protocol (first implemented in 2023), designed to avert the threat of attrition and the financial penalty that results from not meeting our room block obligations. Understanding the rationale behind the “process” will help you understand the sequence of events as you secure hotel accommodations and your conference registration.

During conference registration, you’ll be asked for a hotel confirmation code. You’ll need this confirmation code to secure the lower conference rate (a $618 USD savings that is equivalent to two nights at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach). If you have not booked your hotel room yet, you can do so online. If you book your hotel room elsewhere, or cannot provide the Hyatt confirmation code, you will be directed to a pricing structure that is $618 USD higher. This policy does not apply to those who register as “exhibit visitors” or “tutorial only” participants. This money allows us to establish a reserve that is used to offset any attrition costs we experience and allows all of our conference participants the flexibility to stay at a location of their choosing.

If you register for the conference at a higher rate and subsequently make your hotel reservations at either the Hyatt Regency or Hyatt Centric, then we will be delighted to refund the difference directly to you! Just let Jacque Matanis know by email, jacque.matanis@svc.org, provide her with your Hyatt registration details and the refund will be promptly issued. The easiest thing to do is to plan your schedule for the TechCon before you start the registration process so you can make your hotel reservation and conference registration in a streamlined manner.
