I know I’ve received a lot of questions about which hotel we’d be getting discounted rates at for the HostingCon 2007 show.  Well, we’ve been hard at work trying to get great hotels at the best price we can for our attendees.  And I’m now happy to announce… (drumroll please)

Our official conference hotels will be the W Chicago Lakeshore and the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.  The rates for the W will be $229 a night and the Sheraton will be $179 a night.  The W’s normal rates for the dates of HostingCon 2007 are $339 a night and up and the Sheraton’s are $259 a night and up, so we’re getting some significant savings.

We’ve also gotten a discount on Internet Access for those staying at the W or Sheraton.  I’ll need to double check, but I believe the rate is $7.50 per day at both which is a 50% savings off the normal daily rate.  There’s also a discount on parking if you’re driving.  As I get a chance to go through everything I’ll update our Hotel & Travel page with more information.

Reservations are not yet open for the two hotels but will be shortly.  We’re working with both properties to get online and phone reservations set up and I hope they’ll be up and available within the next week or two.  When they are available we’ll open up the conference registration at the same time.  I will, of course, announce it here.

As we’re now a little under 6 months away from HostingCon 2007 you’ll start to see me post more regularly here in the blog to keep people up to date on the latest show information.  I recommend that you subscribe to our RSS feed with your favorite feedreader.  All the feeds are listed in the right navigation box.
