request rooms in the DEMICON room block. Anyone asking for rooms for May 1 - 3, 2009 without
specifically mentioning DemiCon will be told the hotel is full. We have rooms. Don't take no for an answer. Request to speak to a manager if you must.
If you do have any issues please contact Greg Abba
immediately so we can get things resolved. If you know some one who has tried and failed
to make a reservation please forward this information to them.
IMPORTANT NEWS:
There's a large conference in town the same weekend as
DemiCon. Get your room at Hotel Ft. Des Moines before the room block expires
(April 1st, 2009 April 6th, 2009) or it'll be too late.
IMPORTANT TIP ABOUT BOOKING YOUR ROOM ONLINE:
When trying to reserve rooms online the Hotel shows as full because of our room block. Anyone trying to
reserve a room from the website should put "DemiCon" in the comment area. The hotel should be able to pick
that up. We actually recommend calling directly and asking for the DemiCon room block. The phone
