Hotel Information:

Please book your room directly with the hotel of your choice. There are two
blocks of rooms at hotels within two blocks of AED: a block of two-night
reservations at The Churchill (formerly the Hotel Sofitel) for May 19th and
20th, and a block for three-night reservations at the Jurys Normandy Inn
for May 18th, 19th, and 20th (for those of you staying over Saturday
night). Please book your reservation at the Churchill if you are staying
for only two nights.

Please book your hotel room early, as a limited number of rooms are being
held. May is a very busy month in Washington, and when the reserved blocks
of rooms are all booked, it may be difficult for you to find other rooms or
hotels available close by.
