AAC 2012 Lodging, Food & Transportation

Hotel Reservations

The 2012 Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop will take place at UT Austin's AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center, which also provides hotel accommodations. The AT&T Center is located at 1900 University Avenue, Austin, Texas  78705. We have contracted with the Center for a special rate of $139 per night for conference attendees*. Rooms at the conference rate can be reserved at the AT&T Center at any time up to May 17, 2012. Reservations made after this date are subject to standard Conference Center rates. All AAC 2012 attendees wishing to secure accommodations at the AT&T Conference Center are responsible for contacting the Conference Center to make their reservations.

 

There are three different ways in which attendees can make reservations:

*We have contracted for a limited block of government rate rooms at the AT&T Center. Once these rooms are sold, you will not be eligible for a government rate room even though you are a government employee. The government rate will be the prevailing rate at the time of check-in at the hotel. You must show proof of government employment upon check-in to receive the government rate. Please contact Amadeo Gonzales, once you have reserved a room at the conference rate, in order to have the rate adjusted to the government rate. Note that the government rate will not explicitly appear as an option on the AT&T Center's website.

ATTENTION NON-US REGISTRANTS

If you get the message "there are no room types available for the selected dates" it is, most likely, a connection problem. Please click HERE to download an AT&T Center Reservation Request Form, which you can complete and FAX to the AT&T Center at (512)404-1600, ATTN: Ms. Mallory Irizarry. When the AT&T Center receives your form, they will make your reservation and return a reservation confirmation to you on AT&T stationery for your files.
