VENUE for IES2011

• Meeting Venue: Crowne Plaza Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia (formerly the Radisson Hotel)  http://www.crowneplaza.com 

• Lodging: There are a number of excellent hotels in the area. At the Crowne Plaza, a special block of rooms is being held until April 14, 2011. Be sure to specify the IES2011 group when making the reservation. The specified rate is TBD (plus applicable local taxes) for a standard room (single or double). Since the conference is being held in the Spring, the nominal rate would otherwise be > TBD plus tax at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

The Crowne Plaza Old Town Alexandria (www.crowneplaza.com) is located in the heart of Alexandria, convenient to Old Town Alexandria and Washington DC. This hotel near the Potomac River is eight blocks from shops and historic homes on Old Alexandria's revitalized waterfront. Numerous Old Town historic attractions are within walking distance or a short bus ride away including; Mount Vernon, George Washington's Estate, Alexandria Black History Museum and the Fort Ward Museum. Walking tours of the city of Old Town, Potomac River Cruises of our Nation's capital's monuments, and boutique shopping are just a few of the fun and interesting things to do when you come stay with us.

 Note_1: It should go without saying that Hotel accommodation is independent of the IES2011 Registration process. Thus, for out-of-towners, accommodation cost is in addition to any symposium fees. We have recommended that the Crowne Plaza Old Town would be a convenient accommodation, but have suggested other alternatives as well. Naturally, many in-town registrants will commute and avoid hotels costs altogether. 

Note_2: To be sure to get the Group Rate, you may need to call 703-683-6000, which is the direct number for the hotel. The group rate is specified under "IES2011" designation.
