Hotel

Due to overwhelming demand, We will most likely not be able to honor wait-list requests for sleeping rooms made after October 1st. There was an overwhelming early response for reservations. We make every effort to accommodate our members but there are a limited number of rooms available. We will continue to notify people on the wait list as rooms come available.

The Westin is sold out.

Arisia will be held at the Westin Boston Waterfront.
