I took it for granted that they would cover travel and accommodation,
although I have yet to see them state that in so many words (more
along the lines of 'we need to let the hotel know when you arrive and
depart'.  

Then again, everything to do with this conference has been happening
well behind schedule, and one is left to wonder if one or more RFC1149
hops are involved in the mail delivery.  All responses have been very
late in coming.  I only booked my flight yesterday, lucky to get a
seat at all.

Yes, an unambiguous confirmation is needed.  Please supply one with no
further delay.
