How do I make room reservations? |
Both
participants and vendors are responsible for making their own room
arrangements. MiSHE will furnish information about the hotel and conference
room registration process only Read
the accommodation page and use the registration form found on the conference
information page. The registration form must be used to make room
reservations. Because several conference participants are able to share rooms
and so that there is reduced confusion about room registration, no call-in
reservations will be accepted. |

What if I don't golf or play regularly? |
Check
the conference agenda for more information.
Many of our members who don't golf on a regular basis are still VERY welcome
to participate in the golf outing. It’s designed more for business
communication and sharing of experiences than a golf competition. You can
make your own team, join any existing team, if there are openings, or allow
yourself to be assigned to a team. Remember, it's for fun and information!
Sometimes there are alternative events. Check the conference agenda for any additional events. |
