Registration:
Early registration deadline is Friday, May 16, 2008.
Please use one of the following two options to register:
If you want to charge excursion tickets to a different credit card than your
registration, then: (1) register and complete that transaction (2) do an update
to add excursion tickets using the different credit card information as a
separate transaction.
Hotel Reservations:
Update, 11 May 2008:
Discounted rooms in our block are still available for
the main conference nights of June 24, 25, 26.
The Hilton room block for Friday night June 27th has
filled. There are still rooms available at the non-discounted hotel price for
June 27th. However, booking them with checkout later than June 27 is a little
tricky.
To book a stay with check-out of
Saturday morning:
(1) Book the first part of your stay, with check-out June 27th. You should get
the conference rate ($195).
(2) Book the second part of your
stay as a separate reservation transaction, checking in June 27th and checking
out June 28th. The room rate will be about $290 (pick the "unrestricted
rate"), but at least you will have a room and can cancel this reservation
with no penalty until a few days before arrival.
Then send e-mail with the nights
you need rooms for (either because of the high rate or because you couldn't get
any room at all) to rooms@dsn08.org.
Please allow a few days for a reply. We will assess demand and locate alternate
room locations at reduced rates if possible. However, this is high season so we
can't make guarantees. You should definitely reserve a room somewhere and
not wait for us to find you one. You might also try booking just the
Friday night room through a discount travel service such as Expedia.com or
Hotels.com if they offer better rates (we can't officially endorse those
services, but have used them in the past without a problem). Thanks for your
patience.
(Also see our Airline Discounts & Rental
Car Discountweb page.) The Hilton Anchorage hotel reservation
deadline is Friday, May 16, 2008. Anchorage rooms are
scarce during the conference and the Hilton is already sold out for our dates
except for our room block -- be sure to book your room before the deadline!
Please see the "Location" page for more
details about Anchorage and the hotel.
We recommend you use the special DSN reservation web site for hotel
reservations:
http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/ancahhf_dsn/index.jhtml
For on-line reservations you may need to enter the 3-letter SRP code:
"DSN" as the Group/Convention Code. Our rate is US $195/night
single/double, non-inclusive of meals.
Alternately, you can contact Hilton Worldwide Reservations by phone:
1-800-445-8667 (toll-free USA); or
see
this Hilton web page for regional phone numbers.
Be sure to specify "SRP CODE DSN" to get the block room rate.
The conference hotel is:
Hilton Anchorage
500 West Third Ave.
Anchorage, AK 99501
USA
Toll free customer assistance: 1-800-245-2527 (USA only)
Hotel operator: +1-907-272-7411
Hotel fax: +1-907-265-7044
Hotel main web site: http://www.anchorage.hilton.com
There is a $50 early check-out fee at the Hilton. This applies after you
check in if you leave before your stated departure date. However, you can
change your departure date at any time before and during the check-in process
without a penalty. (So, if you need to change your departure, don't forget to
do it while you are checking in.)
If you wish to share a room, please send e-mail to Jen Black at:
roommate@dsn08.org with the following
information:
Gender (M/F); Student (Y/N); Smoker (Y/N). She'll provide a name of a possible
match. We act as a referral service only and can bear no responsibility for the
actual room sharing arrangement, which is entirely up to you. If in doubt,
reserve a 2-bed room by the deadline, because it is easier to cancel if you
find someone to share with who already has a room than it is to find a room
after the deadline!
Also, see the DSN 2008 Discussion Web
Site for postings about accomodations, travel plans, and other relevant
information.
