Hotel Conference Rate “Cut-off”
Note that the “cut-off” date to guarantee the conference rate for hotel reservations is October 13. Booking a room by the cutoff date DOES NOT guarantee you a room. The block can, and usually does, sell out weeks before the cut-off date. BOOK EARLY!
Important Booking Reminders
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- You must book directly with the hotel, NOT through a travel site such as Orbitz or Travelocity, to receive the free Internet access.
- The October 13 cut-off date is not a guarantee that there will be rooms available. We suggest you book your room by the beginning of October.
Booking by Phone
IMPORTANT: If booking by phone you must mention that you are requesting a room for “AHEAD” or for the “AHEAD Accessing Higher Ground Conference” in order to receive the discounted room rate. Call (303) 297-1300 to contact the Hilton directly for reservations or information.
