Sheraton Hotel is Full!

By now you may have already heard the news - all the rooms at the Sheraton Bloomington hotel are currently full for the CONvergence 2008 weekend. We are quite pleased to report this, as it says that our tenth anniversary year is very popular and promises to be exceptional. For the first time in our history, we have filled not just our room block but the entire hotel well in advance of the convention.

Currently we are securing rooms at our sister hotel, the Sofitel, located directly across the street from the Sheraton. They are graciously extending the Sheraton's convention rate to our guests. The CONvergence Hotel Department therefore is still taking room requests and advising the Sofitel of the guests they should be expecting, so please continue to forward requests directly to CONvergence.

If, in the unlikely event that the Sofitel should fill, we will seek another option, most likely the Crowne Plaza, located across Highway 494, which will run a shuttle between the hotels. Please watch the website, www.convergence-con.org, for further updates.

ADDENDUM: Although the hotel is full, we still have requests to process and confirmations to be sent. We ask a little more patience while we work steadily to catch up.
