It is time to *make your hotel reservations - NOW!* Be sure to mention
*NACIS - North American Cartographic Information Societ*y when making
your room reservations to get conference rate of $103.00 per night. The
hotel conference rate is established to offset the costs associated with
the meeting rooms and other meeting expenses - so please choose to stay
at the conference hotel. We have a larger room block reserved this year
due to the lack of other hotel properties in the area.  /NOTE: Meeting
attendees using the government per diem rate can be applied to our room
block - please be sure to let them know you are with the conference./
