Recommended Hotel
The conference will take place in the Historic Menger Hotel. We have reserved a block of rooms in this hotel at a special conference rate. The hotel is adjacent to the Alamo and the famous riverwalk. We urge you to stay in the Menger Hotel during the conference, both for your convenience, and also to help us keep the cost of the meeting rooms as low as possible. We also highly recommend that you make reservations as early as possible since the number of rooms blocked in the hotel is limited. Note that the hotel has a cutoff date for receiving the conference rates. Also note that you must make your hotel reservation on your own, the conference organizers will not be able to do this for you.

Other Hotels in the Area

There are of course many hotels in San Antonio, and quite a few of them are close to the Alamo, and thus close to the Menger. However, we would like to urge you to stay in the Menger, since if we do not use our quota of reserved rooms, we will incur additional charges for the meeting rooms. This could impact our coffee breaks and reception.
