Reno in 2008!

Thank you for your interest in the 2008 ESA Annual Meeting in Reno. This year the annual meeting will be held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Housing

The official hotels are the Atlantis Hotel and Casino and the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. As a change from years past the Peppermill and the Atlantis are not Passkey housing systems, so attendees will need to book directly with the hotels.

ESA has negotiated reduced rates for your stay in Reno at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa and the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. ESA is held financially responsible for utilizing blocks of rooms at these hotels. Please support ESA by making your housing reservation at either of these hotels. 

Shuttle Service

Shuttle service will be provided between the Peppermill Hotel and Casino and the Reno-Sparks Convention Center throughout the meeting.
