The AoIR room rate is $155 USD per night. Please use the url from the registration page if you book online. I do not think there is a way to get that rate directly from Marriott's own web site without using the link. Or, if you book via telephone or travel agent, please make sure to identify yourself as an AoIR conference attendee to get that rate. Thank you, Sj On Jul 6, 2005, at 9:25 AM, Sue Cranmer wrote:
Hi Any chance of getting the hotel rates ahead of submitting the registration to the conference. I need to cost out the whole thing before I can make a decision on this.
Thanks Sue

Online registration is now open for the sixth annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers to be held in Chicago October 6 - 9, 2005 (with pre-conference workshops held on October 5, 2005) at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel.
To register for the conference and workshops go to:
https://www.conted.vt.edu/ssl/aoir/index.lasso
You will be able to pay the registration fees by credit card or by check.
You can also at this time register for the conference banquet (taking place on Friday, October 7, at the Mid-America Club, on the 80th (top) floor of the Aon Center, Chicago's second tallest building, and the conference brunch (taking place on Sunday, October 9). [Vegetarian options will be available at both meals.]
You may also register for a historical tour of Chicago's "L" elevated train (taking place on Saturday morning, October 8). Join others in an AoIR-only L car for a tour of some of the L system's oldest routes with the Chicago Transit Authority's historian.
A link to online hotel registration is provided on the site after you have clicked the "submit" button and sent in your registration. We have negotiated the best possible rate from the hotel and encourage you to book a room early. As is the case with most all hotel-based conferences we have to meet the minimum occupancy with which we are able to use the hotel's meeting rooms and if we do not meet that occupancy rate then we'll have to increase the registration fees, to cover the additional meeting room cost.
I appreciate everyone's support of the conference and of AoIR and look forward to seeing you in Chicago in October!
