The VATSIM convention is only a few weeks away, and final details are now becoming available on programs, sponsors and more. For full details, click on Read More.
We're closing in on the convention and I just wanted to give you all an update. First, some important dates you need to know:
1. Dulles Airport Hilton reservations must be made no later than JULY 29, 2005. After this date you will not be able to get the reduced convention rate of $85 per night. If you haven't made your Hilton reservation yet, you need to do so as soon as possible.
2. Last day to request a refund for your convention registration from VATSIM is July 31, 2005.
3. Presentations will begin Friday evening August 12. A detailed schedule will be published August 5.
