Here are the key details to remember
when registering and making hotel reservations for the fall school.
The new registration process includes both your conference
registration through the ISAC website and your hotel accommodations
through the Iowa Housing Bureau. Thanks in advance for your
understanding in these new revisions, which we believe will be
beneficial to all our conference attendees.
Before you are able to reserve a hotel room, you MUST
register for the 2009 ISAC Fall School of Instruction. Registration
will open on Monday, August 17 at 8:00 am. The ISAC online
registration process is the same as previous conferences.
After registering for the fall school on the ISAC website, you will
receive an email confirmation. This email will include: confirmation
of conference registration; instructions and a link to reserve your
hotel room through the Iowa Housing Bureau with their unique
convention ID (4-digit)
housing bureau code; and a 10-digit ISAC
ID which is mandatory for each individual hotel room. In
addition to your unique convention ID (4-digit) and 10-digit ISAC ID number, you will need a credit card
to make your reservation. This credit card is to hold your room and
will not be charged unless there is a cancellation fee.
Click here for a detailed explanation of this step.
You may only reserve ONE hotel room per conference
registration. You are more than welcome to share a double room with
another conference attendee. Please have only one of the two
individuals who wants to share a room request a double room through
the Iowa Housing Bureau. If you are registering more than one
individual in your county, you will need to register and make each
hotel reservation individually, but you may use the same credit
card.
In addition to the conference room block at the
Coralville Marriott Hotel and
Conference Center ($116/night plus taxes), please take advantage
of one of the five overflow conference hotels that will provide
complimentary shuttle service to/from the Coralville Marriott Hotel
and Conference Center. To receive the special ISAC conference rates
and services, all conference hotel accommodations must be reserved
through the Iowa Housing Bureau’s online system after registering
for the conference and before October 16, 4:30 pm.

conference hotels will NOT be valid if you call and reserve a
room or reserve a room on a hotel website. You must go through the
Iowa Housing Bureau website after registering for the conference to
reserve a hotel room.
After registering for a hotel room through the Iowa Housing Bureau’s
online system, you will receive an acknowledgement email within
24 hours from the Iowa Housing Bureau.
**If
you did not receive an acknowledgement email from the Iowa Housing
Bureau within 24 hours of making your hotel reservation online,
please contact them promptly at the numbers given below. Please be

you to confirm your reservation at this time. The one week gap
between October 16 and 23 is given for administrative turnover
between the housing bureau and the hotels. Thank you for your
patience.
Please remember that there is an ISAC Hotel Cancellation Policy, and
it will be in effect for the 2009 ISAC Fall School of Instruction.

affiliate presidents; CCMS board of directors; CRIS board of

individuals with disabilities, ISAC will require you to provide a
