Hotel Registrations must be made by April 28, 2008. Registrations made after these dates can only be accepted on a space-available basis by TIS and the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel.
Option 1- ONLINE REGISTRATION/ You may use the online hotel link to reserve accommodations using a credit card, http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cp/1/en/advancedsearch?whichtype=room&roomResult=none&hotelCode=nycmd&quickRes=city&_GPC=SSC&checkInDate=12&checkOutMonthYear=042008&checkInMonthYear=042008&checkOutDate=21&_requestid=114113
then use Paypal after selecting your preference (Total Package or “a la carte”) to send payment for the weekend programming.
1. The Total Package @$180 per person includes registration fee, reception hors d’oeuvres and Nargeolet Carpathia presentation, bus tour of New York Titanic sites, gala banquet with Ruffman “Unknown Child” presentation, gratuities for the reception and banquet, all programs, lectures and activities, and additional printed convention materials. This does not include the cash bar, any other meals, hotel room, taxes, items of personal nature (such as the hotel fitness room, Internet access, etc.).
