Why should attendees book with the LSA Room Block for the 2010 Annual Meeting?

Short Answer: Convenience, Amenities, Supporting the LSA

• The Hilton Baltimore is the headquarters hotel for the LSA 2010 Annual Meeting. All meeting events - sessions, exhibits, job interviews, receptions - take place in the hotel, as does the all-important networking with colleagues, LSA leadership, employers and students.
• Attendees who book rooms at the Hilton Baltimore online using the hotel's dedicated LSA reservations page or by phone mentioning the Linguistic Society of America meeting will receive free guest room internet access for the duration of the meeting, and complimentary access to the hotel's fitness center, which includes a heated indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna.
• The Hilton Baltimore is easy (via light rail), quick (25 minutes) and inexpensive ($1.60 each way) to reach from Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
• The Hilton Baltimore is located in the city's spectacular Inner Harbor area, adjacent to Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles (many rooms have views of the outfield).
• The Hilton Baltimore is served by the new Charm City Circulator, a free shuttle bus with service to popular dining and entertainment neighborhoods such as the Inner Harbor, Little Italy, and Charles Street.

Booking a room at the Hilton Baltimore using the hotel's dedicated LSA meeting web site or toll-free telephone number not only benefits you, the attendee; it also supports the LSA. When you "book within the block," you help the LSA to keep meeting costs as low as possible, and enable us to provide some of the important "extras" meeting attendees have come to enjoy, such as the Presidential Reception, the Exhibit Area coffee hours, and the student mixer.
