It's Time to Reserve Booths, Sponsorships, and Hotel Rooms for Fall Conference
Save these Dates for the 2008 NEHES Fall Conference & Technical Exhibition, October 7-10, 2008
Only 1 Platinum Booth and 15 Regular Booths Left to Reserve!
Facility Managers and Vendor Partners: Don’t miss the 2008 NEHES Fall Conference & Technical Exhibition and 50th Anniversary October 7-10, 2008 at the Omni Hotel at Yale, New Haven, CT. This year, NEHES is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. We started our celebration off on March 21 with an extremely successful Spring Seminar and we’re looking ahead to the Fall Conference and Celebration October 7-10, 2008 in New Haven, CT.
Picture yourself visiting beautiful Lighthouse Point Park (pictured above), just a five-mile drive from the conference hotel!
Reserve Your Hotel Room Now!
We are well into the planning stage and this year’s educational program promises to be different in both technical and development aspects. The Spouse/Guest Program is also coming together with tours to the Knights of Columbus and Peabody Museums and a local winery.
Book your hotel room as early as possible to ensure that your accommodations are in the same hotel as the conference. One way to view early registration is that the reservation can always be cancelled should something come up.
This year, we have blocked two separate groups of rooms, one for Active NEHES Members (engineers) and one for Supporting NEHES Members and Vendor Partners (Fall Conference Exhibitors and Sponsors).
CUT-OFF DATES: The cut-off date for accepting reservations into the Vendors room block is Monday, September 1, 2008.
The cut-off date for accepting reservations into the Engineers room block is Friday, September 12, 2008.
Reservation requests received after 5:00 PM local time at the hotel on the cut-off dates will be accepted on a space and rate availability basis. The hotel reserves the right to release for general sale any unused portion of the room block.
