Additional Information

Hotel Location

The Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square is conveniently located next to Station Square Pittsburgh, which is the city's premier entertainment destination. Station Square is an entertainment and retail complex situated on the banks of the Monongahela River across from downtown Pittsburgh. The former Pennsylvania & Lake Erie Railroad terminal was converted to Station Square in the 1990s with additional riverfront amenities added in the 2000s. Pittsburgh’s famous Gateway Clipper Fleet departs from its docks at Station Square, and the Three Rivers Heritage Trail runs adjacent to the railroad tracks next to the terminal buildings.

Did you know?

Your support in staying at the Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square helps keep the conference costs down, which directly affects your registration fees. SIAM guarantees the hotel that we will fill a certain number of “room nights” (rooms per night) during the conference. SIAM incurs penalties if too many attendees opt to stay in other hotels in the area or neglect to indicate to the hotel that they are with the SIAM conference. Currently, conference costs do not include meeting room rental. If SIAM fails to fill the contracted room block, SIAM is charged the cost for the meeting rooms daily, along with a hefty penalty. Future registration fees could increase to cover these additional risks.
