Hi,
Just in case anyone is interested I had a VERY hard time getting a room for the convention. At first they had no rooms available at all for the week(regardless of being in the IFRC or not). Then I called back later and they only had one room but had no additional days on the front end in case anyone was interested (Saturday or Sunday before the convention). If at first you don't succeed call back and try again - although they were pretty adamant about being booked that week and zero availability.
Thanks
