OTHER INFORMATION
We invite you to attend the 42nd annual meeting of the Academy of Aphasia, taking place this year in the windy city of Chicago. October is a great time to be in Chicago, and the conference site is right in the middle of things, so do join us for our 42nd gathering.
The Conference Site
We will hold all meeting sessions in downtown Chicago at the Hotel Intercontinental, which is on the Òmiracle mileÓ of shopping and hotels, near the new Millennium Park and the Museum of Contemporary Art, and not far from the ÒLoopÓ, home of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The neighborhood is a safe and reasonable one by Chicago standards. There are hundreds of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Mass transportation is readily available in the way of buses and train (the ÒelÓ, i.e., the elevated train).
HOTEL
We urge everyone to register at the Hotel Intercontinental Chicago, where we have negotiated a rate of $149. This rate is available by mentioning the "Academy of Aphasia" (group booking code c48) . Even if you book on the web, and/or find a better rate, please tell the hotel that you are associated with the Academy of Aphasia, and we will get credit for your stay (very beneficial to the Academy). To reach the Hotel Intercontinental, please call +1-312-944-4100 or (in the US or Canada) 1-800-628-2112 (Fax: +1-312-944-1320) or sign on to http://hotel.academyofaphasia.org. Reservations should be made sooner rather than later. The special rate is available until Sept. 23rd. The rooms do have Internet access for a fee, externally-accessible voice-mail, and 4 pieces of exercise equipment in a 'fitness center'. They do have 'non-smoking' rooms.
For the possibility of truly inexpensive student accommodations at a greater distance from the conference site, try the various web sites and realize that public transportation in Chicago is quite good and easy to use.
