Be
where the action is!
OnLine Hotel Registration:
You could stay anywhere, right? Well you could, but we encourage you
to stay at the Washington
Hilton.
You may ask yourself:
"Why should I stay at the conference hotel when I may be able to find a
lower room rate on my own?"
When
you factor in cab fees and the time associated
with travel to alternate hotels, you may not benefit
as much financially as you had planned. By staying
at the Washington
Hilton, the host hotel, you gain the opportunity
to further network with your industry peers and
remain in the center of the activity surrounding
the conference. The WTC Organizers recommend this
hotel exclusively.
