We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn, which is the closest hotel to the conference site (less than a 10 minute walk away). The special conference rate is $119/night for a double room from May 22-25. The rate is available until April 22, and you can access this rate from the following link: <a href="http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/groups/personalized/M/MSNBJHX-ALC-20140522/index.jhtml">http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/groups/personalized/M/MSNBJHX-ALC-20140522/index.jhtml</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you're on a tighter budget, we suggest finding a hotel on the west side of Madison and taking a bus to the conference. Bus schedules and Google transit planner are available here: <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/">http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/</a> Please note that there are different schedules for the work week and weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>Please see attached for a (very) tentative schedule. If you‘d like to secure one of the spots on this schedule, remember to submit an abstract online at <a href="http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/SCLC34">http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/SCLC34</a> by this Sunday, March 23! :)</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, we hope to have registration available shortly! We are still waiting for confirmation on our conference funding. If it comes through (fingers crossed!), registration will be free, and there will be a subsidized conference dinner. We will let you know as soon as we do!</div><div><br></div><div>We hope to have more info for you soon, but in the meantime, please feel free to e-mail with any questions.
