What's not usual is that I haven't decided on the demonstration yet. Do I show a speaker that is appropriate for the size of the demo room, or show a speaker that is impressive but is too large for the demo room?
Sorry, Hilton Garden Inn. If veterans know that this is a bad choice, pls let me know ASAP.
If folks would state their desire for a dinner get-together (not that that's the only time we may intersect) and their preference for Friday or Sat night, we could start planning such. Also helpful would be restaurant suggestions from those who've been there.
$89 per night single vs. $99 @ Marriott or Hyatt Regency Tech Center. It's in the noise. Garden Inn is as convenient to the venue as it gets and avoids the hubbub - I hope!
I'm going for my 5th! straight year. Good call on the Hilton. It's a little cheaper, and a lot less crazy. I actually prefer the rooms (beds more comfortable for my taste). I like taking short mental health breaks away from the Marriott. It's a 2 minute walk across the street.
The Marriot Tech Center lives up to its' hype as the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I was lucky tostay in the little mini-adjacent building.
I just registered and hope to be there. Let me rephrase that. I booked my room at the HIlton Garden Inn and bought my airplane tickets so I will be there.
