The Aspen Meadows is now accepting reservations for BoostCon’09. Register early and ensure you’ll stay at the conference site!
Last year, a substantial number of participants had to stay off-site and take a shuttle to get to the conference and associated events. Especially in such a small conference, the community experience is always much stronger if everyone can stay together, and the other options tend to be much further from the conference site. Head on over to our hotel reservations page and make your reservation now.
Why You Really Need to Book Now
When reserving a room block at a hotel one must agree in advance to pay for any reserved room-nights that aren’t eventually taken by your group. That’s known as an attrition charge, and it’s a standard practice. Because of BoostCon’s limited capital resources—we don’t have a fund that would allow us to cover a large room block if something catastrophic happened and the conference was cancelled—we have never been able to reserve more than a handful of rooms.
As a result, other groups who want to reserve a room block and can guarantee payment of the attrition charge will be able to reserve rooms and prevent you from getting a reservation. Every year so far, such a group has come along before all Boosters got rooms. We intend to build up a capital fund so that won’t be a problem in the future, but for now, your best defense against having to stay off-site is to reserve your room early.
