Planning Your Stay
Conference Lodging
A limited number of hotel rooms have been reserved for conference
registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. After these rooms have
been allocated, registrants will be charged a reduced conference
registration fee and will be responsible for reserving and purchasing
their own lodging.
Upon registering for the conference, Jennifer Hicks will notify you of your
registration and lodging status. Additionally, if you will be receiving
conference lodging included in your registration fee, Jennifer will contact you approximately one month in
advance of the conference with your lodging assignment.
