Baltimore Interop update - book room and register by this Wednesday, please!

[Robert Hanisch]

Hi everyone.  If you have not yet registered and made your hotel booking for
the Oct 26-31 Interop meeting in Baltimore, I urge you to do so ASAP.  The
hotel has kindly offered to release any unreserved rooms at no cost to our
contract.  We will hold a few more than those booked now, but not many.
Thus, I encourage you to book your rooms by Wednesday of this week.  Also,
please note the procedure for booking rooms earlier or later than the core
meeting dates that I sent around on August 7:

I believe the link to the Colonnade Hotel website for booking accommodations
for the Baltimore Interop meeting is now working properly.  However, if you
wish to stay longer than the core meeting days, you should book the core
days through the website.  Then, contact the hotel by e-mail to arrange the
extra days before or after (they will honor the $169 rate for three days
earlier and three days later).  Contact them through
darlene.mosby at hilton.com  and mention the group code STI (as in Space
Telescope Institute).

Thanks,
Bob

We also need you to register at

so that we can have accurate head-counts for the coffee breaks and
conference dinner.

Thanks,
