Location and Accommodations
Conference Location
The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel located at 1300 Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis.
Directions can be found on the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis website.
Hotel Reservations
A block of sleeping rooms has been reserved for the conference at the special rate of $199/night + tax (single/double occupancy).
The cut-off date for the special rate is Sept. 27, 2016. There are several large events taking place in Minneapolis during the conference so it is very likely that the hotel will sell out well before the cut-off date. You are encouraged to book your room as soon as possible!

Note (9/9/16): Rooms for Saturday night at the Hyatt are sold out, though reservations change constantly and it is possible that some may come available if you keep checking back. There are some rooms still available for Thursday and Friday nights as of the posting of this note.
Good news! CARLA got a small block of rooms for Thursday/Friday/Saturday nights at the Hilton Hotel at 1001 Marquette Avenue, just three blocks away from the Hyatt. The special room rate is $209/night for single/double occupancy. The cut-off date for registration is Sept. 29, 2016.
