As a result, there may not be space available in the negotiated rate block at the venue hotels (the Hyatt and the Marriott). There is still space available at higher rates, so please call for availability (see the “attend” [...]

LPC2011 Internet uplink sponsored by Sonic.net

August 8, 2011 – 7:53 pm
