Important information for all potential 802 attendees:
a) The Hyatt Regency Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri, will be the site
for the March 2002 IEEE 802 Plenary Meeting. The IEEE 802 group room block
is now NEARLY SOLD-OUT. The cut-off date for the block is Monday, February
11, 2002. To make your hotel reservation, you may either web-reserve at:
http://www.stlouis.hyatt.com (enter group number: G-IEEE), or contact the
hotel directly by calling: (314) 231-1234. When the hotel becomes
SOLD-OUT, please call and request to be put onto the IEEE 802 WAIT-LIST.
This group typically has many late cancellations, and the hotel will contact
you when a room becomes available. You may also wish to call the hotel
during the 1 to 2 weeks prior to the start of the Plenary Meeting to check
the status of your reservation request. The special IEEE 802 group rate is
$139/night for single/double/twin occupancy plus applicable taxes. Room
reservations may be canceled without penalty up until 6pm of your day of
arrival.
b) The Hyatt Regency St. Louis is located 20 minutes from Lambert St. Louis
International Airport (STL). Taxi ride one-way is approximately $30. See
the current meeting info package at http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/ for
more info and detail on transportation options. Hotel self-parking for
in-house guests or other visitors is currently $9. per night or $2. for the
first half hour and $1. each additional half hour (max. $9.). Valet parking
is offered for $6. for up to 6 hours and $15. for between 6 and 24 hours.
c) The IEEE 802 Opening Plenary will begin Monday, March 11th at 11:00am and
the 802 Working Group Meetings will begin at 1:00pm. Please note: Some of
the 802 Working Groups have scheduled meetings for Friday morning, March
15th. Please visit the home web site for your Working Group for the
detailed agenda. The closing Executive Committee meeting is currently
scheduled to be held from 1pm to 6pm on Friday, March 15th.
d) Please Note:
Due to the growth of the IEEE 802 group and shortage of meeting space/guest
rooms, we are looking into providing another hotel for guest rooms and
meeting space. Once another hotel is arranged, you will be notified via the
e-mail reflectors. Unfortunately, due to a lack of near-by facilities, this
hotel may NOT be located within easy walking distance of the Hyatt.
e) Please note that our secure web Pre-Registration Form will be posted next
week at:
http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/pregform.html
Please contact us at 802info@ieee.org or (408) 241-8906 if you require
further information and/or assistance. We look forward to seeing you in St.
Louis.
