JA-SIG has negotiated a special rate of $139 per night for a single or double occupancy room. This rate is subject to state and local taxes, currently 13% and a $2.00 occupancy fee per night. In order to confirm your reservation, you must provide a major credit card. The credit card will only hold the room and will not be charged unless the reservation is cancelled less than 72 hours prior to scheduled check-in. Guests wishing to avoid an early checkout fee should advise the hotel at or before check-in of any change in planned length of stay.

Unlike other JA-SIG conferences, group rates will only be offered three days AFTER the dates of the conference, based upon availability (group rate good December 3-10). The JA-SIG room block will be held until 5:00PM Central Time on November 7, 2004. After this date, the rooms will be released and reservations will be taken based on availability and may not be available at the group rate.
