In conjunction with this maintenance, the URL for the RSS feed of this blog is being updated from http://aicc.org/index.xml to http://www.aicc.org/index.xml. Please update your Blog Readers or RSS feed sources accordingly.

LODGING UPDATE:The hotels' corporate rates are in the process of an annual update as of December 18, 2007. You may be unable to obtain the corporate rate until the updates are complete. You can either wait and make a reservation after January 3, 2008. OR make a reservation now and get a rate adjustment later by calling back to the hotel or coordinating with AICC and Adobe at the meeting.

LODGING UPDATE 2:In late December, hotel corporate rates were updated and are now available, though they increased approximately $10 USD. Those who booked in mid-to-late December and were unable to get a corporate rate, can get a rate adjustment by coordinating with AICC and Adobe at the meeting.
