I did not expect this to be resolved so soon. Apparently the main problem was Tues. May 26, and more rooms have now been added. Furthermore, our hotel contact has promised to monitor the ARSC room block and add more rooms as necessary, at the conference rate, as long as they are available. Please be advised that the hotel can rescind this offer at any time, and will likely do so if they think they can sell the rooms at a higher rate. Currently there only about 11 rooms left in the "official" ARSC block for Wed.-Fri. nights. Please make your reservations as soon as possible- instructions can be found here: http://www.arsc-audio.org/conference/hotel.html


If you experience any difficulty, please notify me as soon as possible and I will do what I can to assist.

I was just notified that our room block at the Liaison Capitol Hill is now full. However, it appears that the hotel is willing to negotiate to add more rooms to our block, hopefully at the conference rate. I will notify the list as soon as I am able to reach an agreement with the hotel.

Meanwhile, if you haven't yet made your reservations, but would like to stay at the conference hotel, please email me a.s.a.p. off-list. This will help me to determine how many more rooms to request. It is imperative that all of the extra rooms that we reserve are filled, otherwise ARSC is responsible for the difference. This is why we must be conservative when negotiating the hotel room blocks, and why we come up short each year.

Though the cut-off date for reservations at the Liaison Capitol Hill was Tuesday and our original room block was filled long ago, the hotel has generously offered to provide additional rooms at the conference rate for as long as there are rooms available. Please contact me directly if you are interested, and I will put you in touch with the Liaison's Director of Conference Services.
