Conference Costs

• Registration Fee

  $250 per Delegation

• Delegate Fees

  $88 per delegate attending the conference

• Registration Deposit

  The $250 registration fee plus a $30 per delegate deposit is due upon registration. This deposit is fully refunded if your school is not accepted to the conference.

• Hotel Fees

  Delegations stay at either the Sheraton University City Hotel or the Hilton Inn at Penn. Schools will have the opportunity to express a preference, subject to availability. Room rates are as follows:
  
  Sheraton:
  $220 per night, All rooms (Twin Double and King)
  
  Hilton Inn at Penn:
  $245 per night, Twin Double
  $235 per night, King
  
  The hotel stay is for 3 nights. Rooms can accommodate anywhere from 1-4 delegates, with most schools choosing to place 4 delegates in each 2-double bed room. Unfortunately due to safety regulations, roll-away beds are unavailable in 2-double bed rooms.
  
  Advisors are required to stay in king-bed rooms at both hotels. Special requests for rooms with two double beds can be made, but these rooms are typically reserved for delegates and will be given to advisors based on availability. No more than 2 advisors may stay in any one room. Roll-away beds are available in king rooms at either the Sheraton or the Inn at Penn for a $40 per-night fee.

  *** As of 2010, both the Sheraton and Inn at Penn require a credit card to be presented at check-in in order to cover any incidental/damage costs that may occur throughout the duration of your stay. ***
  
  
• Refunds/Delegate Reductions

  The $250 registration fee and the $30 delegate deposits are both non-refundable if your school is accepted. If the size of a delegation is later reduced prior to the delegate roster deadline, the $30 deposits for the extra delegates will be applied to the remaining balance. There will be no refunds of any kind issued after January 15, 2010.

• Making Payments

  All costs are paid to Penn Model Congress directly. Checks are only accepted from schools, not individual delegates or advisors. A detailed schedule of payment is provided to all attending schools upon acceptance to the conference in the fall. Failure to submit payments by the established deadlines will jeopardize a school's attendance at the conference. An email confirmation will be sent to the primary advisor upon receipt of each payment.

  Checks should be made out to "Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania" and mailed to:

  Penn Model Congress
  P.O. Box 30794
  228 South 40th Street
  Philadelphia, PA 19104

  Packages should be sent via USPS First Class, Priority, or Express Mail. UPS or FedEx packages cannot be received.
