Important Convention Reminders!

Hotel Updates-
The Embassy Suites is wrapping up a major renovation! Common areas are in the final stages, so expect some changes:
   - The pool may or may not be read-- be flexible!
   - The breakfast and front desk areas will look different and may still have some renovation work happening.
   - The workout center has been relocated but still on first floor.

Session & Event Locations
Check your schedule carefully! Some session rooms and the President's Breakfast may be in different locations than previous years.

Hotel Payment Info
If you're staying at the Embassy, a hold will be placed on your credit card at check-in for room/tax plus $25 per night for incidentals.
This hold will be released after checkout (timing varies by card provider).

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THIS MARCH!
