Travel Tips Hotel Accommodations
We have a special rate of 119 USD per night reserved at
the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown , which is the same hotel
where the conference is being held. We encourage all of
our out-of-town attendees to reserve their room at this
hotel no later than February 15th as there is a limited
number of rooms reserved at our special rate. We've
selected this hotel as they have free wireless
internet access through out the hotel, including your
hotel room.
For those that have not been to Austin, Texas before,
we advise you to be aware that there is very
limited public transportation. We recommend using the
Super Shuttle to transport you from the Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport to the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown.
All those that are confirmed to be staying at the
preferred hotel and have paid for the full two-day
conference package will get free transportation to the
dinner Thursday night. Please make your Omni hotel
reservations at
Omni Hotels' online reservation system.

Parking at the Omni
If you are parking for just the day of the event, we
have a discounted parking rate of $7 per vehicle at The
Omni. Please note that this rate does NOT allow for
in-and-out privileges. If you are staying at the hotel,
you are better off financially paying the over-night
rate that comes with the room as this gives you
unlimited in-and-out privileges.
VISA information for
visiting the US
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will
begin a new high-tech registration system on January 5,
2004 to fingerprint and photograph foreign visitors, who
are required to have visas, as they enter through
designated U.S airports and seaports. The program
will exempt permanent U.S. residents and foreign
visitors from 21 countries who do not generally need
visas to enter the U.S. Those exempted countries include
Andorra, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United
Kingdom. If you are not traveling from one of these
exempt countries, please be aware that besides holding a
visa, you will now have your digital photograph and
electronic fingerprint taken or verified upon entering
or exiting the U.S. For more information, please visit
