CUNA GAC 2008: Red, White, and YOU

Housing

Reserve your lodging.

Due to high demand, CUNA housing is currently full. Room reservations may still be made. CUNA is working on obtaining additional hotel rooms. To reserve your room, click on the link above. When a room becomes available, the hotel will be assigned and your name will be deleted from the pending list. Names in pending status will be guaranteed a room in one of the conference hotels, but the attendee will not have the option to choose the hotel.

If for any reason you wish to cancel, before your hotel is confirmed the deposit will be refunded. Once your hotel has been confirmed you have one opportunity to cancel your reservation without penalty. Any cancellation after that time will result in a penalty.

You will receive a confirmation once your hotel reservation is confirmed. You can check back on the status of your room request from time to time. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please feel free to e-mail cuna@experient-inc.com.

The 2008 GAC offers a wide variety of accommodations near the convention center for your comfort and convenience. Shuttle service is provided Sunday through Thursday for the nine official conference hotels.

Arrive early and stay late! This year the GAC kicks off on Sunday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. with an exhibit hall dessert reception, $1,500 Vacation Package drawing, and concert by the folk-rock band America. On Thursday, March 6, don't miss the closing session with Dave Barry and drawings for a Vacation Package and the CULAC Grand Raffle.
