Hotels

***Update: Book your hotel room soon. While we planned to have the conference during a weekend without a university football game, the schedule changed, and we are now competing with those attendees for hotel space. There's also another large conference in the local area during our conference.***

You can register for staying at the AT&T Center by clicking here. You may alternatively register by calling the hotel, though please make sure to ask for the negotiated FMCAD rate (group code "FMCADE1011") of $159/$179 a night (note that if you make the booking by phone, there's a chance that their system will show the hotel as fully booked when there is actually space. Please excuse this annoyance). The AT&T Center is an outstanding luxury hotel, and we have negotiated a great rate which is much less than the normal rate. In doing so, we have blocked this rate against a minimum room quota, so please help us keep FMCAD registration rates low by taking advantage of this opportunity to stay at one of Austin's finest hotels at this special price. The deadline for this special registration rate is October 14, 2011.
