 AMSAT
Symposium pre-registration extended
Since most (about 90%) of Symposium Registrations have been through the
website the Symposium Committee has made a decision to extend pre-registration
at the $45 rate through the 24th of September.
We were able to do this because the production cycle for badges, etc.
is now automated and requires very little human intervention except some
minor paper handling!
So if you haven't signed up now is your chance to get in at the last
minute without having to pay the additional fee! Registrations received
after September 24 will cost $55.
Hotel registrations have filled the initial block of rooms at the Crowne
Plaza Hotel that were set aside for Symposium attendees. The Symposium
Committee worked with the hotel management and they are now happy to report
that additional rooms have been added to the AMSAT block.
A glitch in the hotel's reservation system causes an occasional error
when trying to book rooms at the special AMSAT rate. If you try to book
your room through the central Crowne Plaza reservation system (toll free
number) they may tell you the dates are unavailable. If this happens call
the hotel directly (information on AMSAT web) and be sure to mention the
AMS group code.
If you still have problems please send Emily Clarke (n1did@amsat.org)
an email with your arrival and departure dates and she will arrange to
speak with the hotel manager directly.
One thing that isn't available through the website is that we can upgrade
to the Executive rooms. The rate for executive rooms increases from $109
per night to $129 per night. Call the hotel directly to take advantage
of this offer.
Information about the Spouse Tours and Activities can be found online.
