Need a Bigger Host Hotel
I'd like to attend but I've been at the overflow hotel for 2 years and am not doing that again. While I appreciate that this event is an all volunteer effort, I think it needs a larger host hotel.
I began trying to book a room at the host hotel in February but there have not been any rooms available.
Very disappointing.

Considering the speed with which the hotel sold out, a larger hotel makes a lot of sense. Additionally, near ORD and in many other locations, there are often several hotels within walking distance of each other. For an event such as this one multiple hotels within walking distance makes sense for various reasons including the ability to accommodate more attendees (without the added cost of rental cars) and allowing attendees a better opportunity to stay with their preferred hotel brand. Thank you for all your efforts.

Alright... can't be the only one who has tried to select "2" for quantity. Do I need to checkout twice to get one registration for me and one for Mrs. Cocaine?
When I click the drop down for "1" to try to get "2" there is no drop down. Tried three different browsers. Any one else able to get "2" to show up?
TIA

Booked. October can't come soon enough. Look forward to meeting everyone!
Can't say I'm surprised at the popularity (and scarce availability) of the MS session. It's more relevant than ever.
