Be aware of scams. ISRI does not sell attendee lists. Anyone claiming they have a list of attendees to this event and is selling it is not being truthful. If you are interested in seeing attendees, you can do so after registering by logging into the registration page and going to the Networking Center. ISRI Connect, the ISRI mobile app, will also have a list of attendees available to those registered several weeks before the Convention.

Yes. Book your room at an official ISRI2022 hotel here.

As with list scams, beware of individuals offering assistance booking hotel rooms for the ISRI2022 convention. Many of these offers are not legitimate and attendees who have used them have found themselves without reservations when they arrived in Las Vegas.
The only authorized location for booking hotel rooms at the special ISRI rates is through the ISRI convention website at http://www.ISRI2022.org

Photography in the exhibit hall is limited. As a courtesy, please ask an exhibitor before taking photos of equipment and displays in their area. Photography is only allowed during the official open hours of the exhibit hall. Photography during set-up, breakdown, and after hours is strictly prohibited and can result in the loss of convention credentials.

You should wear your badge and carry photo ID with you for all convention activities. Your badge allows event security to identify what events you are eligible to attend. Photo ID will be required for several events so you should always have it available.

Scooters can be arranged through the bell desk Mandalay Bay or the Delano hotel.

If you have any additional questions about registration, or need assistance, please contact ISRIConvention@isri.org
