– Convocation 2012 Moving to New Hotel–
February 23rd through February 26th
NEW Location: DoubleTree by Hilton
5801
Southfield Expressway
Detroit,
MI 48228
It
has always been our first and largest goal to make ConVocation an event for the
community.
We
listen to your feedback and really do take it to heart. Having received your
comments about the facilities, size, and repair of our long-time partner hotel,
we worked hard these past seven months to ensure that the issues you raised
would be taken care of and that the hotel would be ready to host an event that
met your and our standards for what a great gathering should be.
Changes
in personnel, delays in facilities upgrades and repairs, and the fact that we
sold out the hotel earlier than any year previous have led us to question what truly is best for
ConVocation and for you, the attendees. In order to provide the quality, space,
comfort and positive environment we know attendees at ConVocation deserve, we
had no choice but to make a move.
Therefore,
we are moving from the MET to the DoubleTree Hilton. This new location will
provide us with:
·
A
beautiful common space with natural light and flowing water for gathering.
·
MORE
meeting rooms, allowing us to further expand the list of class offerings.
·
MORE
hotel rooms, so that no one needs to be left out of the fun or trudge through
the snow to attend events.
·
An
exciting new beginning in a fresh environment.
Please
understand that we are moving the event in space, but not in spirit. The dates
of the event remain unchanged. The Guests of Honor, Friday Night Karaoke, Drumming
Circles, Masquerade Ball, Merchant’s Room, and friendly faces of staff will all
still be there. The only thing that we need is you.
Reservations
can be made at the DoubleTree Hilton starting immediately at our convention
rate of $85/night. This specially negotiated rate is locked in until February 9th
through the following methods:
Telephone: 313-336-3340
Web: http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/D/DTTDBDT-MEC-20120222/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG
Please
don’t delay changing any existing or making new reservations. We look forward
to your help in making this new house our home.
