NEW AND IMPORTANT FOR 2011: By staying within the official PCMA housing block, at the MGM Grand/MGM Grand Signature, you are helping PCMA keep overall registration fees lower than they otherwise would be. Our partners at MGM Grand are extending an $89 USD plus tax room rate over the official conference dates (Sunday, January 9 through Thursday, January 13). For 2011, you will save $200 USD on your registration fee by staying within the official PCMA housing block at the MGM Grand/MGM Grand Signature. Take advantage of the convenience, attendee camaraderie and of course, savings, by staying within the block.
Attendees staying out of the PCMA Convening Leaders housing block (MGM Grand/MGM Grand Signature) will be charged an additional $200 USD on conference registration. If you later cancel your MGM Grand Hotel reservation, your credit card will automatically be charged (or you will be invoiced) an additional $200 USD for your registration fee.
