The conference
hotel is the Fairmont Dallas. All the sessions, the
Continental breakfasts, the annual lunch, and the Thursday and Saturday
receptions will be held there. It’s an elegant downtown hotel, and it should be fun. We
have negotiated what is for this hotel a remarkably cheap rate of
$169 for a basic double room. To obtain the rate you should telephone (toll-free) 866-540-4427 and
indicate that you are booking for the ASLH Annual Meeting. Rooms for the
meeting may also be booked through a special
website that the hotel has arranged. (Do not use the hotel’s regular
website; you won’t be able to get the special rate that way.)
The local arrangements committee, chaired by Joshua Tate and Josiah Daniel, has produced a zippy
flier
and an informative guide
that gives a good idea what Dallas is like. The guide also contains practical information, including
information about flights
and the airport, and about a full range of
accommodations to fit every budget. The guide may also be downloaded as a
pdf file.
