To make the trip as affordable as possible, all Summit attendees will be staying in twin rooms at our chosen accommodation. Attendees will have the choice of nominating their chosen roommate.
Attendees who don’t nominate anyone else from the travelling group to room with will have their roommate nominated for them – genders will be kept separate in this instance. There will be pre-trip get-togethers on campus for attendees to get to know their fellow Summit attendees ahead of this occurring.
Attendees are to book their own travel to and from the Miami Global Sports Summit. This allows students and alumni maximum flexibility with their travel plans. UCFB and GIS will hold no responsibility over the travel plans of any of the Summit attendees.
After booking your accommodation through UCFB and GIS and booking your travel plans, UCFB and GIS will request the details of your flights.
