I'll be in Indianapolis from Wed to Sun (4 nights) as well and am totally up for bonding over dental hygiene. I'm volunteering so I need to stay at the Conf. designated hotel.

I live in a co-op so I’m used to sharing and respecting people’s space. I have no critical aversions or preferences. I don’t smoke and prefer to sleep in spaces where people don’t – but I'm flexible.

This is my first M&W conference – so I’m pretty stoaked!
…anyone else taking the iPhone workshop or interested in social networking possibilities and geospatially aware devices in general...

Also – Nina, if your roommate siuation isn't already squared away – I’ll be taking a class with you in the fall – it would be a nice opportunity to talk about all the everything, or all the nothing.

Makes sense

I'm sorry--I didn't realize there was this type of connection. Your urge makes sense. The Hyatt Regency was not able to accommodate 3-person rooms and I was just looking for an option to support that. I want MW2009 to be a success and now I understand how staying at the Hyatt fits in!

stay at the HYATT please

We strongly urge everyone coming to MW2009 to stay at the conference hotel: the economics of the meeting depend on it.

The way conference contracts work, the hotel provides meeting space in return for room rental nights / catering. if we don't make our minimums, we'll be liable for penalties.

We're working with the hotel to keep the rate as reasonable as possible; it's a lot less than the ARLIS hotel.

cheap option for multiple people

FYI, the Embassy Suites, which is around the corner from the Hyatt Regency, has two-room suites starting at $189. They feature three beds and full breakfast and are a good option if you are looking for ways to bring more people into your hotel experience.

Jennifer, if there's any way to get a conference rate there as well, that would be superb!

I would be interested in

I would be interested in sharing a room for all the reasons Nina lists - and with pretty much the same parameters. I plan to stay Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights.
