Register Early for Best Rates • Register now for either the full conference, or the mini-conference, both held at the Doubletree Hotel in Berkeley, California. The full conference begins Friday, June 24, and ends with the Costume Dream Ball on Tuesday, June 28. The weekend mini-conference is Friday evening through Sunday. Both full and mini-conference attendees may register for the Sunday evening Sunset Bay Cruise and dessert reception.

Online registration for the conference is recommended.

Reserve Accommodations at the Doubletree • To take advantage of the many hotel facilities that are complimentary to guests, staying at the Doubletree Hotel is strongly recommended. To this end IASD has obtained a special discounted rate for a limited block of rooms, but an early reservation is advised. For hotel reservations, reserve directly with the DoubleTree by calling (510) 548-7920 or toll free at (800) 528-0444. Ask for the special IASD Conference group rate: $119 single, $129 double, plus state and local taxes.
