Experience the Heartbeat of the Chicago
The Hyatt Regency Chicago is ideally situated within the Magnificent Mile, considered one of the greatest avenues in the world.  Immerse yourself in our “city within a city,” as your home-base at the Hyatt links you to Blues, Jazz, shopping, irresistible cuisine, Grant and Millennium Parks, Lake Michigan beaches, Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue. 

SHSMD has reserved a block of rooms at the special conference rate of $242 single/double (plus applicable taxes) at the Hyatt Regency. Be sure to ask for the special Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development room rate when you call. Available to all Annual Conference attendees, rooms at this rate are subject to availability and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

The cut-off date for accepting reservations into the SHSMD room block is August 18, 2010. Reservation requests received after that date will be accepted at the group rate based on availability. Paid registration for the 2010 SHSMD Annual Conference does not guarantee a hotel reservation at the headquarters hotel or at the special meeting rate.

All reservations must be accompanied by a last night's deposit plus tax or guaranteed by a major credit card.
