> We've heard some of you trying to reserve rooms for SA'08 have been  
> told
> there are none left for our dates.  This is incorrect; there still are
> rooms available - but only in our reserved "Space Access" room block.
> The rest of the hotel is indeed sold out, and will show as such on the
> clerk's reservations computer unless they specify our room block.   
> When
> you call the Grace Inn at 800 843-6010 for rooms, try telling them you
> want a room for the Space Access conference before telling them your
> dates.  If they still say "no rooms", ask them specifically to check  
> in
> the Space Access Room Block.  That should do it - for now.
>
> However, as of this Thursday, March 6th, three weeks before the
> conference, our reserved room block opens up for general rental.  This
> means that after Thursday you'll be competing for rooms with the  
> winter
> vacationers and Spring Training fans who've already filled up the rest
> of the hotel.  Our $99 taxes-and-breakfast-included rate will still be
> good right up through the conference - IF you can find a room.  If you
> want to be sure of getting a room right there in our hotel for SA'08,
> the time to reserve it is now.  Wait too long, and you could end up
> commuting from another hotel, likely as not at a higher rate.
>
> We have about three-quarters of the conference presentations confirmed
> so far - stay tuned for additions to the program right up through the
> event itself.  (One way we get the up-to-the-minute latest on this new
> industry is to stay flexible right up to the last minute.)  Look for a
> detailed program schedule about two weeks before the conference  
> starts.
