Hotel reservation for Hypertext 2008

The hotel reservation site for Hypertext 2008 is now open: http://www.sigweb.org/ht08/accomodations.html

We reserved a very small block of rooms at the Hypertext 2008 conference hotel, Omni William Penn. Please, book your room early if you want to stay there. Note also that some other large event will be happening in Pittsburgh right after hypertext 2008 and, with hundreds of people arriving in advance, other downtown hotels may not be easily available.

We also ask you to consider room sharing. Not only $78 is a better deal than $156, but it will allow us to host more delegates at the main conference hotel.

If you are a student, you may want to consider a student dorm accommodation. Dorms are located in Oakland, the most attractive area of the city, the home to Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museums, etc. It is just 15-20 min bus ride to downtown with buses running every 5-10 min depending on the time of the day. The information is also provided on the accommodation page.
