We
have arranged for a conference
rate at a variety of hotels
in the area. These rates also
apply one day before and one
day after the conference.
RESERVE EARLY! Not only does each hotel have a conference rate
cut-off date set for early to mid-October; there is another conference
in town right around the same time. Rooms may be hard to come
by for the procrastinator.
