Here are the key details to remember
when registering and making hotel reservations for the fall school.
This registration process, which has been used since the 2009
fall school, 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 registration requirements, which are
beneficial and fair in giving all conference attendees an equal
opportunity to reserve the hotel room of their choice.
Before you are able to reserve a hotel room, you MUST
register for the 2011 ISAC Fall School of Instruction. Registration
will open on Monday, August 8 at 8:30 am. The ISAC online
registration process is the same as previous conferences. Please
make sure that you double check that your email address and/or fax
number are correct and that you hit "confirm." You will then be
registered for the conference and your confirmation email or fax
will be sent.
After registering for the fall school on the ISAC website, you will
receive an email confirmation from ISAC. This email or fax 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 (5-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 (5-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. This is a first-come, first-served registration system
and the name on the reservation must match the name of the meeting
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 ($122/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 Friday, October 21, 4:30 pm.
Sheraton Iowa City Hotel ($119/night plus taxes)
Hampton Inn Coralville ($99/night
plus taxes)
Holiday Inn and Conference Center
Coralville ($99/ night plus taxes)
Heartland Inn Iowa City/Coralville
($96.99/night plus taxes)
Holiday Inn Express Coralville
($119/night plus taxes)
*Click on each hotel for specific hotel amenities for each
property.
Please DO NOT call any of the ISAC conference hotels to book
your hotel accommodations. Hotel room reservations made at ISAC
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 by the next
business day from the Iowa Housing Bureau. The acknowledgement email
will contain your hotel location, room type/rate, arrival/departure
date and credit card information. This hotel reservation
acknowledgement from the Iowa Housing Bureau confirms your sleeping
room for the conference. Closer to the conference date, the hotel
(you selected and that is listed on your acknowledgement email) will
send you a hotel confirmation number. More or less, you are
receiving two hotel confirmations; one from the housing bureau at
the initial booking and one from the hotel prior to the conference
date.
**If
you did not receive an acknowledgement email from the Iowa Housing
Bureau within a business day of making your hotel reservation online,
please check your spam folder. If it's not in your spam folder,
please contact them promptly at 800.451.2625.
The ISAC conference room blocks will only be available until 4:30
pm on Friday, October 21, 2011. After this date, the ISAC
conference room blocks will be closed and the special conference
rates will be unavailable. If you have to make a change or
cancellation to your hotel accommodations prior to Friday,
October 21, 2011, please contact the Iowa Housing Bureau
directly at 800.451.2625.
The ISAC conference hotels will receive the reservation lists from
the Iowa Housing Bureau beginning on Monday, October 24, 2011. The hotel of your
choice will send a confirmation number to confirm receipt of your
reservation. Only after this date you may contact the hotel directly
for any changes to your reservation. You must call the hotel
directly if you decide to cancel or change your room reservation
prior to or during the conference.
Please remember that there is an ISAC Hotel Cancellation Policy, and
it will be in effect for the 2011 ISAC Fall School of Instruction.
No cancellations will be accepted and no refunds will be given after Monday, October
24. If you choose to cancel your hotel
reservation, you will be charged a cancellation fee, which is one
night’s lodging plus taxes, to the credit card on file. Name changes
on guest room reservations will be accepted.
ISAC will assist in securing the hotel reservations for the
following people: ISAC board of directors; ISAC past presidents;
affiliate presidents; CCMS board of directors; CRIS board of
directors and individuals with disabilities. For those
individuals with disabilities, ISAC will require you to provide a
medical note stating that you have a disability which requires you
to stay at the conference hotel. According to the ISAC Board of
Directors policy, all other county officials are responsible for
making their own room reservations.
