HOTELS, MAPS, PARKING & ATTRACTIONS
We will be offering a small number of discounted rooms at our USC hotel, which is less than a 10 minute walk of the ICCOPT 2025 conference. The USC Hotel discount link will be posted January 1, 2025. Please note that reservations are made on a first-come first-serve basis and the discounted rooms will go fast. You may contact the USC hotel directly to check for regular priced room availability.
