Book your
Lodging

The SiQEW workshop takes place October 6–8, 2025 (a Monday–Wednesday). You are free to choose your own check-in and check-out dates. The special room rate is available only for a “standard” SiQEW booking with check-in on October 5 and check-out on October 8. A smaller number of discounted rooms are available for checkout on October 9 for those who need an extra day for their travel arrangements.

The International Conference on Spin Shuttling (ICOSS) workshop is on October 9, 2025 at Terranea. Please plan on booking your accommodations for SiQEW and ICOSS separately, as there are different booking contracts for the two events. The resort is able to ensure you maintain the same room for both SiQEW and ICOSS if, when booking your lodging, you add a note that you are attending both events and want to keep the same room.

Meals and Venue Food/Beverage Costs

Check the Terranea site to better understand costs at the resort for items like coffee, water, or meals outside of the conference-provided food and drink. Feel free to stop at a store on the way for additional items to store in your room if concerned about resort costs and wanting additional snacks or caffeine. The conference will provide breakfast and lunch on all days, 1-2 coffee breaks a day, and banquet dinner on the second night.
