National Grassroots Conference
January 30 - February 2, 2012 - Eden Roc, A Renaissance Beach Resort & Spa - Miami Beach, Fla.
Due to the incredible response from early registrants, our room block at the Eden Roc Hotel has been filled. As of the first week in January, there were still a limited number of rooms at the hotel but they are expecting to sell out over our conference dates. We recommend that you call ASAP to book a room if you wish to stay at the conference hotel. If the hotel proves to be sold out, we have provided a list of alternate lodging options in the Miami Beach area. You must call the hotels directly to determine their availability and the current room rate.
WAIT LIST: If you would like to be placed on the wait list for a room at the Eden Roc, please contact Lauren Tyler at 202.721.0913 or ltyler@pac.org. Rooms will be granted as cancellations are received. You will be contacted no later than January 23 if a room becomes available. After that date, the waiting list will be released. We highly recommend that you make alternate accommodations as there are no guarantees that we will be able to provide rooms.
