WISPCON III - MARCH 24 - 26, 2003

Oak Brook Hills Resort in Oak Brook Illinois

WISPCON III will be held at the Oak Brook Hills Resort http://www.dolce.com/oakbrook/oak_brook_hills.html. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS ON THEIR WEBSITE. To get the WISPCON III discount room rates, you MUST call them with your reservation needs.  You can call the hotel at 630-850-5555 or 800-445-3315

Sleeping - (Yea, right)   The hotel has about 600 rooms for us. At WISPCON II , we filled them up and some had to stay elsewhere. I highly suggest that you make you hotel reservations as early as possible.

Our staff has managed to get the normal $189 room charges down to $109 per day. PART-15.ORG members can also expect an additional savings which brings their room rates down to $99 per day. This is fantastic news as these rooms are very elegant and truly worth the $189 fee.  NOTE: If you wish to take advantage of your PART-15.ORG membership hotel room discount YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR MEMBERSHIP NUMBER WHEN MAKING YOUR RESERVATION "AND" SHOW YOUR P15 MEMBERSHIP ID AT CHECK-IN.

Air Travel - WISPCON III will again be using United Airlines as the "Official Airline". For an even greater savings, book your reservations at least 21 days in advance.

When you call United's reservations desk, make sure you provide them the WISPCON III Conference Code "517BB".  To make your United Airlines Reservations, call 1.800.521.4041
