The honest take
The group code creates a concrete attendee base.
The hotel provides the official attendee base for a policy-focused summit whose main sessions take place at the nearby LITE Center. The conference venue is 537 Cajundome Boulevard, while the hotel is at 2350 West Congress Street. Confirm the organiser shuttle, rideshare or walking plan rather than assuming “Cajundome” means same-building access.
0FIAT VERDICT Best for attendees who want the official room block and can handle a separate campus transfer.
The group code creates a concrete attendee base
StateChain names this the official summit hotel and publishes the code CHAIN. That gives delegates a common breakfast and evening rendezvous instead of a vague citywide hotel recommendation.

StateChain targets 300+ attendees, 40+ speakers and representation from 40+ states around “critical digital infrastructure.” Its topics span blockchain, AI, identity, payments, cybersecurity and public procurement. The hotel decision should support policymakers and working sessions, not an imagined all-night crypto festival. A room booking never establishes badge or private-event access unless the organiser says so explicitly.
