Can I go on a tour if I am not registered for the Symposium?
All remaining tour tickets were made available to the public on April 30th.
A tour I want to go on is full, what should I do?
Please add yourself to the waitlist. In many cases, we are able to accomodate waitlist requests. If there are enough people on the waitlist, we can consider adding a tour. We do our best to accomodate everyone but space is limited. If there is a tour you really want to go on, the best thing to do is register early.
I am a sponsor. How do I use my comped registrations and tours?
Please email the following information to info@docomomo-us.org: full name as it should appear on a name badge; title; affiliation; email address of the person being registered; the name of each tour the person would like to register for. Docomomo US staff will complete the registration and a confirmation email will be sent to the email addresses provided.
Does the Symposium have a virtual component?
All speakers are asked to provide a recorded version of their presentations. Recordings will be made available after the Symposium, free to Symposium attendees and at a minimal rate for Docomomo US members and the public.
Are there hotel blocks reserved?
The Mayfair House in Coconut Grove, designed by Kenneth Triester, is the main hotel of the Symposium. The Arya and Marriott, both in Coconut Grove, are also recommended.
Our room blocks are now closed. If you would still like to book at the Mayfair, please email info@docomomo-us.org.
Visit the Travel and Accommodations page for hotel and travel details.
Do I need a car/what is the best way to get around?
We do recommend a car as the best mode of transport, however ride shares such as Lyft and Uber are readily available and relatively inexpensive. There will be some events in walking distance of each other and some events where Docomomo US will provide bussing. The Mayfair Hotel is in downtown Coconut Grove with great restaurants and other amenities all right at your doorstep.
Will AIA credits be available?
All keynotes, sessions and tours will be submitted for AIA credits.
