Accommodations

The Conference registration does not include your hotel reservation. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City.  Reservations may be made directly with the hotel at (703) 418-1234 and also may be made through the national Hyatt reservation number, 800-233-1234 or at http://www.crystalcity.hyatt.com. The special room rate will be the prevailing Government per diem rate, currently $150/night, plus 9.75% tax for a single occupancy or $175/night, plus 9.75%  tax for double occupancy. To register for a room, please contact the Hyatt and mention that you are attending the "Biometric Consortium Conference" no later than Sunday, August 29, 2004.

Requests received after Sunday August 29, 2004 will be filled on a space and rate available basis.  Guaranteed late arrival deposits are suggested for check-in after 4 PM.  Reservations must be cancelled by 4 PM the day prior to arrival to avoid a full night's room and tax charge.  Valet parking is available at the hotel for $20/day.  

The hotel was sold-out for the previous two Biometric Consortium conferences so we suggest you make your reservations early.
