Why it's important for you to reserve your room well in advance!

Intercon reserves all the function space in the hotel. That costs us a significant amount of money - several thousand dollars. Our space costs eat up, by far, the majority of our con budget. The final space cost is determined by how many hotel rooms are reserved by people coming to the con, using the group reservation process. The more hotel rooms the con books, the more we get a break on the function space cost. The break can be as much as a thousand dollars. We try to make our registration fees cover just what we need to pay for the function space, to pay for the con suite, and to cover the other costs that go into the convention. We try to break even. It's a tough balance; we have to guess a year in advance if we can meet our budget if we still let you sign up for as little as $20. You can help us to keep your own registration costs down by reserving your room early, through the Radisson reservation process.

Intercon rents all the conference space available in the hotel. We encourageyou to review the conference space layout.
