$219 per night + tax and applicable fees for Wednesday, May 11 on a limited
basis and Thursday, May 12 only. Please note that the Ritz-Carlton cannot
offer that rate after our program has concluded due to a number of city-wide

availability if the room block sells out. _The room block will close on
Tuesday, April 19, 2011 and DAGA cannot guarantee rate or room availability
after that date. _The Ritz Carlton requires a deposit for your first
night’s stay and a credit card number when you reserve your room; as always,
you are responsible making your reservation and for hotel costs.  In the
event you need to cancel, we will do our best to resell your room, but if we
cannot, and you cancel any later than 72 hours prior to scheduled arrival,
you will be responsible for the hotel’s cancellation fee of one night’s
charge plus tax. Please contact Andrea Mietus at
