December 5 - 7, 2007 - Hyatt Sarasota
  Accommodations

The PLA&M Partnership Conference will convene in the Hyatt Sarasota, which is undergoing unexpected renovations. While we have been assured there will be no interference with our conference, a major reduction in sleeping rooms has occurred. For those who have not yet booked your sleeping accommodations, Hotel Indigo and Ritz Carlton are both within walking distance and are offering reduced rates for our group. Those who prefer being across the street from the ocean may want to book with Holiday Inn, just 3 miles away.
