But, because they aren't forcing us to any room night commitments, they are releasing the room block on September 1. They will continue to honor our prices, but it will be based on availability. The last day for early conference registration is September 19. After September 19th the prices go up for late registration.<br><br><a href="http://nwgis.org/content/register-nwgis-2011">Register now to reserve your space</a> in the pre-conference training and to receive the discounted early registration prices.
