SSTI Conference News: Intro Sold Out, Room Block Extended

August 24, 2001

As with last year's conference, registration has been brisk for SSTI's 5th annual conference, Creating Opportunity: Tools for Building Tech-based Economies. To make sure the event is the quality and caliber expected of an SSTI event, we anticipate once again the event will sell out — possibly before the September 5 deadline for early registration. SSTI encourages interested parties to complete the registration form on their brochure or on the website at their earliest convenience. Please note, registrations are confirmed only after payment is received. 



Registration for the annual pre-conference session, Growing Your Economy: An Intro to Tech-based Economic Development, is now closed to all but SSTI sponsors. Parties interested in a hands-on intro to tech-based economic development in practice are encouraged to sign up for the pre-conference Tech City tour. 



Due to the overwhelming number of registrants for SSTI's annual conference, the Omni William Penn hotel has graciously agreed to increase the number of rooms available at the special discount rate of $138. The additional rooms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until they are gone, until the hotel sells out, or until September 4. 



Given the number of events occurring on the same days as the conference, the hotel anticipates booking all available rooms; SSTI conference registrants are encouraged to act quickly. The phone number for the Omni William Penn is 412.281.7100. Mention SSTI's annual conference for the special rate.
