Accommodations

We have reserved blocks of rooms at the following hotels during the weekend of the conference in April.  When booking, be sure to mention that you are reserving under the “ACAL 45” reservation block to ensure the conference-specific rates and availability.  The latter is crucial, as there is limited hotel availability over the weekend of April 19th due to the Kansas Relays.  We therefore advice booking your accommodations as soon as possible.
