More than two-thirds of the spaces BIO has set aside for attendees at the 2014 Compleat Biographer Conference have been taken. If this record pace continues, some sessions will sell out or we might even have to turn folks away.

While we are thrilled at the prospect of a sold-out conference, we would hate to see loyal members unable to attend. Go to the registration site NOW and lock in your place!

Also, please consider that because of college commencements, reasonably priced hotels rooms can be hard to come by in Boston in May. Consult Orbitz or other major travel websites to look for decent accommodations. (Check out www.airbnb.com as well.) Many rooms are not close to the University of Massachusetts, but you can take advantage of Boston’s excellent public transportation to get to the conference site. Be sure to leave yourself commuting time.

Finally, BIO is setting up a roommate and car-pooling list serve. If you would like to be on this listserv, send a note to Lori Izykowski and let her know. We will be sending out regular emails with the names of conference attendees who want to share rooms or car pool together to the conference and conference events.
