Hotel Status/Referral

We have been working hard with the hotel management and successfully negotiated a lower rate for 2009, and locked-in small increases for each of the next 3 years.

Also, to confirm, the Sheraton is FULL. Here is a list of hotels near the Sheraton to contact for accommodations if you did not find space at the Sheraton:

Staybridge Suites

While we are not providing specific reservations or rates to these hotels, we have contacted them to advise that they may receive calls from CONvergence attendees.

Lastly we want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. Response to CONvergence has been huge again this year and we are suffering growing pains. Even more so than in previous years we are looking at ways to improve our processes and make them better for everyone.

As always, please direct any questions on hotel rooms to hotel@convergence-con.org.
