Warpstock 2000 Hotel Reservations Update

Have you been trying to get a hotel reservation for Warpstock 2000? Perhaps you were hoping to spend a few days before or after the convention in Philadelphia. Maybe you've run into some problems?

The Warpstock 2000 Committee has made arrangements with the Holiday Inn Independence Mall to offer a discounted rate for Warpstock attendees who mention the code "WARPSTOCK". The discounted rates are supposed to be valid for 3 days prior and after the event. Unfortunately, there have been reports that some people were unable to reserve rooms for days other than the weekend.

The matter has been investigated, and the problem is resolved! The key is to call 1-800-THEBELL (1-800-843-2355). Using another number may not work. The rate is $124/night for single occupancy and $129/night for double.

The Warpstock Committee strongly recommends that attendees stay at the Holiday Inn Independence Mall, the same hotel in which the convention will be held. Warpstock is not just about presentations and vendor areas. It's about networking with other OS/2 users to get the most out of OS/2, and that can happen any hour of the day. It would be a shame if you found yourself engrossed in an enlightening conversation with a number of OS/2 experts, only to have to leave early to make it back to your hotel on the other side of town.

And remember, the early registration deadline has been extended to the end of August, so you can stil save $20! See the Warpstock 2000 web site for details on that.

The 4th annual Warpstock conference will be held September 9-10, 2000, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is produced by Warpstock, Inc., a North Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users and vendors from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy.
