Travel information for National Congress

Posted: 07.26.2010

Attached are the transportation opportunities that are available for a nominal fee in Hartford.  There is really no reason to rent a car. One will be able to save money by not renting a car and not having to pay for city hotel parking.  


 
Hartford is very walkable.  There are also free bus shuttles ( Star Shuttle) from all of the hotels to the XL Center and other points in downtown.  ( May find walking is faster, but the bus is there for those who may need or want it.)
 
Please get this travel information out to your members.  Can you post this on your websites?  We are posing it on our website and will send to all registered congress attendees. We will also include it in our weekly bulletin and the last congress bulletin.  But registration for this is coming fast – August 4.
 
National Travel Systems is also adding some hotel rooms.  Tell your folks to contact them for availability if they were not able to get a room.  But the rooms will go fast. There are also rooms in Farmington, CT and that is not far but will need a car.
 
We now are only accepting congress registrations onsite, but there will be a $ 50 discount coupon posted on our website as well as in Technique that they can use for onsite registration.  They must have a copy of the coupon with them.  The coupon will be on the website by next Monday.  Thanks for all of your help and support.  This promises to be the biggest and best congress and VISA championships to date.  There are a lot of new things happening in Hartford. Rest up because the days will begin early and can end late!
 
And last but not least the registration for the Business Conference has been extended to July 30.  This is an educational event that truly should not be missed.  A special Trade Show Hall opening and reception will begin at 5:00 pm for all attendees of the business conference.  They will be the first to see the hall, receive complementary food and drinks,  prize drawings and goodie bags from the United States Gymnastics Suppliers Association.  This will allow business conference attendees a special time when they can talk to the companies and representatives that do the business of gymnastics. SIGN UP TODAY!  There will be NO onsite registration for the Business Conference.
