MEMORANDUM 05-17
| TO: | Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools, Interested Registrants and Exhibitors at the 2006 Annual Meeting |
| FROM: | Jane M. La Barbera |
| SUBJECT: | Description of Suites Available at the 2006 Annual Meeting |
Attached you will find floor plans and brief descriptions of the various suites that are available at the three participating hotels, the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, Sheraton New Orleans and Wyndham New Orleans at Canal Place in New Orleans for the AALS Annual Meeting to be held January 4-8, 2006.
Beginning June 3, 2005, you may reserve a suite for the 2006 Annual Meeting, by calling (800) 424-5250, or you may fax or mail the housing reservation form (the Annual Meeting registration and housing reservation forms will be sent to you under separate cover in June) as instructed below. Please note that the Annual Meeting Registration Form is sent to a different location than the Housing Reservation Form.
Reservations for suites cannot be made online – they must be phoned , mailed or faxed . All reservations must be made through the AALS Housing Bureau, not the individual hotels.
Suite reservations require a deposit by credit card or check. The Housing Bureau will not make your reservation unless a deposit is provided. The deposit amount is $300 for a one-bedroom suite or $420 for a two-bedroom suite at any of the hotels.
If your first choice of a suite is no longer available and there is a comparable suite (description and price) available at another hotel, the Housing Bureau will automatically assign it. If a suite type is not available and the next available type is an increase in price per night, the Housing Bureau will call you with available options.
Changes and Cancellations
Changes or cancellation of your hotel reservation before December 19th can be made after you have received your confirmation by contacting the Housing Bureau by phone (800) 424-5250, fax (800) 521-6017 or online at www.aals.org/am2006 (click on “Hotel”). After December 19th , wait until December 27th and then make the change or cancellation directly with your assigned hotel. Should you need to cancel your reservation, be sure to obtain a cancellation number from the hotel.
