Hotel Reservations

Students: Students who can find support to pay their hotel expenses should make their own reservations at the Holiday Inn. Those students who indicate on the Registration form that they are requesting housing support should wait to hear from us. The housing support for students consists of free lodging for those willing to share a double room. All students who want support must submit an abstract. We have limited funds available so please register as early as possible. Students must register by October 1 to get housing.
