I've created a wiki mentioning which posts have which information. I'll update it when howie gets event registration link live, and will periodically update it when other pertinent information becomes available as we get closer to the event, including if people are looking to share a room.

Cheers.

I'm assuming you mean a separate email than the heads up/registration is live email?

Cheers.

On-site hotel room reservation link is not showing any rooms available. Is that supposed to be live to, or alternatively are all the rooms taken?

Maybe it's on your end? I just tried a dummy booking for seminar dates w/ the link in post # 2 & it shows availability for all room types.

Cheers.

Got it. Had to phone it in to be able to use the CHI code. My phone wouldn't allow for the code to be put in so all the rooms were showing as unavailable. Thanks!

Glad it worked out. When I clicked on the link in post #2 to do the dummy booking, it was already auto-filled w/ the code but then I was accessing it from a laptop and not a phone.

Cheers.
