AASA National Conference on Education Information
The AASA 2010 National Conference on Education will be held February 11- 13, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona. Online registration is now open.
This year, there is no Missouri room block. However, we are encouraging Missourians to select the downtown Sheraton. This is the headquarters hotel for the convention and the hotel where we have requested rooms for the Missouri Breakfast and President's Reception. The room rate is $210/night single or double occupancy. Other hotels in the immediate vicinity to this hotel and to the convention center are the Hyatt Regency with a room rate of $194 and the Wyndham with a room rate of $199. All three of these hotels are very nice.
Please be sure to check the schedule for the conference below. The conference will begin on Thursday morning and will end on Saturday, February 13. The Missouri Breakfast and President's Reception will be held on Friday, February 12.
Missouri Breakfast: The Missouri Breakfast will be held at 7:30 am on February 12 in the Deer Valley room of the Sheraton Hotel.
