CHANGE OF VENUE ----- PLEASE NOTE ----- CHANGE OF VENUE We have been notified by the Grand Hyatt San Antonio Hotel that they have made an error and have an overbooked situation of 2014 rooms for our conference timeframe. The Grand Hyatt has offered to move our entire conference over to their sister property, The Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa, rather than have the majority of our members show up and not have a room. They have transferred our room reservations and conference space needs to the Hyatt Hill Country. While this is not an ideal situation, there are many more family friendly opportunities at this location then our previous hotel. The Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa website is http://hillcountry.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.htm. The Hyatt Hill Country Resort offers complimentary parking, which is a $10/day savings from the Grand Hyatt hotel. Transportation from the airport can be found at http://goairportshuttle.com/san_antonio_international_sat_airport_shuttle Please contact Laura if you have any questions at 888-970-0777.
