Here's a link with Hotel info

Now chances are they will open up another block but heck why not book now?
They don't charge your card until Sept and you have till Aug to cancel without penalty.

This should be one really cool event!
Ever wonder what a 6.3 million gallon aquarium looks like?
How about having dinner sitting in front of it?

This link said Sept 3-8

Here ya' go:

Here's a quote from another forum

Posted 10-26-07

We have already met our 75% room allotment that was based on projections from previous MACNAs, and are currently renegotiating with the hotel for more rooms. I would book sooner rather than later to make sure. We already have over 370 paid registered, plus another 100 from paid exhibitors, so we have almost 500 full conference tickets sold... and we are 11 months out. MACNAIX in Pittsburgh (the largest MACNA to date) had 550 full conference tickets sold

Beer is food....

 

[Jocko]

That's true. I was sad when they ran out of that draft beer they had at this year's show. It was surprisingly good.

I know huh?! I was starving! We went back to the hotel room after and I ate a ton of cheese and crackers (while we watched the new Die Hard, which BTW cost $14 ), thank goodness we had packed some food for the road trip.
