Accommodations

Conference registration does not include hotel reservation. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Gaithersburg Hilton at a nightly rate per room of $139 plus 12% tax (telephone: 1-800-445-8667). To reserve a room, please contact the hotel directly and mention that you are attending the WCNR8, or on line WCNR8 Hilton Reservation. Reservations must be received no later than September 26, 2006; after that date, the rooms will be released for general sale at the prevailing rates of the hotel. Rooms with two double beds are available within this block, so individuals wishing to defray some costs can share a room.

Roundtrip transportation will be provided between the Hilton (only) and NIST each day in the morning and evening. Private/rental vehicles are allowed on campus. No special vehicle registration is required. Directions to NIST can be found at the NIST visitor page.

For participants choosing not to stay at the Hilton, there is a wide variety of options available, and a listing of additional lodging can be found at the NIST visitor page. Those persons will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the conference site.
