For those of you unable to find rooms at the conference hotel, you should
check Hilton Hotel's web site www.hilton.com. I found rooms still
available after the hotel said they were full. You can book these outside
the local hotel's jurisdiction and may still be able to reserve a room
that is less than the $135 CAD that they were quoting as the replacement
for the sold out $89 rooms.
Good hunting.
