Lodge and Travel Support

1. SEED Travel Support (for SEED Participants only)

• Hotel accommodation

  • The KSEA will reserve a shared room for two matching participants. You don’t have to reserve your room since we will reserve yours for you. If you wish to share a room with a specific participant, please let us know by replying to this email.

  • If you wish not to share and use a room by yourself, please reserve a room yourself and request reimbursement after the workshop. We will support 50% of your hotel room charge, and you will be responsible for covering the remaining 50%. KSEA will release a designated travel reimbursement form after the workshop.

  • The max reimbursement amount is equal to half (50%) of the group rate although they stayed in the Hyatt hotel (from $129/per night plus tax and service charge).

  • Lodge support cannot be replaced with other benefits

• Transportation support

  • Travel support is available to you as a SEED participant under the condition of holding an active KSEA membership and your full participation in the two-day event.

  • Reimbursement for travel expenses is up to $200, based on the one-way Google map distance from your home address to the SEED 2024 venue, as shown in the table below.
