If you’re booking a WestJet flight to the conference, use convention code CC7821 for 10 percent off their best available fare at the time of the booking (excluding seat sales and web fares). To book flights using this convention discount code, phone the WestJet Groups Department at 1-888-493-7853. You can’t book online for the convention code discount.
