I'm not panicking, but I just tried to reserve a hotel room for Sunday night through Wednesday night and the booking website says nothing is available (Sunday through Tuesday was OK).  Could someone please nudge the Hilton and get some more rooms added to the block, particularly for Wednesday night?

Many thanks,

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2015 Registration Update [spots still available]

It has come to my attention that the public perception is that Code4Lib
2015 is either sold out or at risk of selling out in the immediate future.

I'm here to tell you DON'T PANIC!  As of yesterday morning, there are at least 100 places available for regular (non-speaker, non-scholarship) attendees.  At my latest check in, there should still be hotel rooms available at the conference rate, as well; and we have confidence that if the hotel block *does* sell out, we can expand it at least a little for all the conference days.

While there's no need to drag your feet (the earlier the host committee knows rough final attendee numbers, the better!), you shouldn't be concerned at this point if you are waiting for approval (or for after the
holidays) to register.

Our goal is to avoid turning anyone away, and we look to be on track to do that.

Happy Holidays, and hoping to see you in Portland,

Tom Johnson, on behalf of the PDX host committee
