Cut-off for hotel reservations is July 27, 2016 and we anticipate the hotel will sell out quickly so Locals are encouraged to make reservations early (we will once again use an overflow hotel, as necessary). Reservations made after that date will be at the hotel’s prevailing rate, not the negotiated conference rate. The hotel charges cancellation fees made less than fourteen days prior to scheduled arrival and early checkout penalties, both of which are the responsibility of the local.

Registration is 1–6pm Sunday, August 28, 2016 and 7:30–8:30am Monday, August 29, 2016.  All delegates must attend Orientation Sunday evening at 6:30pm.
