RETC is not working with any vendors to fill our housing block and any representation from an individual not directly employed by SME is not advised. Often these companies misrepresent their relationship with SME or RETC and offer a fraudulent rate or have malicious intentions. In some cases, their rate does not include the lowered resort fee. If you receive a suspicious call or email inquiring about housing, please notify RETC at meetings@smenet.org.

If you have additional questions, please contact SME customer service at 303.948.4200 or 1.800.763.3132 (US only), or email SME Meetings at meetings@smenet.org.
