2011 Room Reservations:
A/TA does not limit convention participation, nor is there any shortage of rooms, despite any appearance of a local "quota" (although half may not be in the main hotel). If you have funding, you may attend.
Please open our Rooms ROE pdf document for detailed procedures. If you have any questions, please email Miles Wiley at atarooms@cox.net.
Each installation and Exhibiting company should have a room POC that units and individuals should contact for rooms assistance. If you do not have a room reservation POC, contact atarooms@cox.net
 DO NOT negotiate individual or independent group contracts with hotels. Independent contracts create a personal liability for YOU, the signer; and the A/TA will have no ability to help YOU out of that liability! You may forfeit A/TA transportation help as well.
2011 Room Reservation Cancellation policy:
All room reservations must be accompanied by a first-night room guarantee. The hotel will not hold any reservations unless secured by a credit card. One-for-one room swaps may be made to avoid hotel cancellation charges.
Reservations are automatically guaranteed by charging a one-room plus tax deposit. For refunds, room reservations must be cancelled 10 days before the reservation's arrival date.

For our Venerable Members who have reached age 70 and have been members of the Association for 20 years, the Association sets aside a limited number of hotel rooms at a reduced rate. Please e-mail atarooms@cox.net to reserve your room. Since it is a limited number of rooms, it will be on a first come, first served basis.
Bring a social guest/spouse and pay the member rate. See "Frequent Answers" bullet in the instructions. If you have already registered, just call us with your additions: (703) 385-2802. Bringing a spouse for the whole time and only registering him/her for the Banquet is ill advised. Shopping can cost more than full registration.
Remember, all including guests, must pay
for any event no matter how "short" the intended visit. (This includes guests accompanying you to the hospitality suites.)
There are no "free" or "reduced-rate" options for children of any age. See fee overview
Arrival Recommendations:
Please schedule all transportation, especially mil air, to arrive as early in the day as possible to allow you to pick up your registration materials. As all registration volunteers attend the opening reception (so far at 1900), you may be turned away if you have not completed your registration prior to 1845.
**Have your photo ID ready**
Recommend, if possible, you hit the Convention registration desk even prior to checking in to your hotel room. It will be a lot easier on you!
