space with possibly a third hotel for additional overflow rooms. We are
providing this advance warning so that you can make/adjust your hotel
reservations accordingly to minimize inconvenience.

be the site for On-Site Registration, the opening plenary on Monday, the
Executive Committee meetings, and the Wed evening social. All 802 attendees
should plan to check-in at the 802 Registration Desk there to pick-up their
badges and a current agenda for the week's activities (Sun 5-8pm, M-F

the Hyatt in the heart of Austin. If you will be attending 802.3 and are
