> This is our final mailing on the Space Access conference getting
> underway this Thursday in Phoenix, with useful last-second info plus the
> definitive conference agenda (subject only to on-site changes needed.)
>
> Quick notes:
>
> - Speakers should be aware we do ask everyone to pay admission to the
> conference. Old hands know this, but we've been remiss in informing
> newer arrivals this year - our apologies. Any speakers caught off guard
> by this belated announcement should feel free to ask Registration for
> the pre-reg discount, as it's too late to pre-register without paying
> most of the discount in overnight mail fees.
> - Our $79 conference hotel room rate is still available for now, but
> the hotel tells us they're filling up fast and the rate may not be
> available at the door. The only way to get our rate is to call our
> hotel direct (the Four Points by Sheraton Phoenix Metrocenter, 602 997-
> 5900, mention "space access") between 8 am and 4 pm weekdays Mountain
> Standard Time (EDT-3) since outside those hours calls automatically get
> switched to the Sheraton national reservations center, which no longer
> has our rate listed.
> - We will have use of a credit card machine this year, at the
> conference only. You can register at-the-door for Space Access via
> credit card. We will also (as always) accept personal checks or cash.
> - The forecast for our dates is clear and sunny, highs around eighty,
> overnight lows around sixty, brief thunderstorms possible Friday.
>

> Final Conference Agenda
>
> (Subject to change in emergency - speakers who hit a travel snag or
> otherwise can't make your scheduled time, contact us ASAP at the hotel
> direct via 602 432-5022 and we'll try to figure out a way to fix it.)
>
> Thursday, April 28th
>
> Between noon and one, depending on how setup goes:
> - Space Access '05 Hospitality opens, Suite 317 (just off the hotel lobby
> elevators, two floors up)
> - Registration opens, in the "library" (between the hotel lobby and the
> Mesquite Room where our sessions will be)
>
> (Note - that overworked A/V tech in t-shirt and jeans doing setup
> Thursday is NOT the Executive Director; leave him alone to get his job
> done. The Executive Director is the one who'll show up a bit later
> dressed respectably; he'll be glad to chat.)

> Hotel:
>
> Our hotel is the Four Points by Sheraton Metrocenter, 10220 N Metro
> Parkway East, Phoenix Arizona 85051. The Four Points is in Phoenix's
> "Metrocenter" shopping complex, fourteen freeway miles from the Phoenix
> airport (cab rates in Phoenix vary; it's $12 by blue "Super Shuttle"
> airport van, approximately twice that via cab) with countless stores
> and restaurants within walking distance.
>
> Directions:
>
> - From the Phoenix airport, head toward the west (24th St) end of the
> airport then follow the signs to Interstate 10 West.
>
> - Once on I-10 West, look for exit 143 to I-17 North in a few miles.
> (I-10 and I-17 connect twice in Phoenix - don't worry, either way you
> find I-17, take it north.)
>
> - Once on I-17 North, take it to exit 207, Dunlap Road. Turn left at
> the top of the ramp (west) onto Dunlap. (Ignore the Sheraton visible to
> your right as you pass through this intersection - it's the wrong one.)
>
> - Stay to the right on Dunlap; you'll be turning right at the first
> light, in a couple hundred yards.
>
> - At the first light, turn right onto 29th Ave and head north.
>
> - three hundred yards up 29th, at the first light, turn right onto
> Metro Parkway East. You're now on the loop road around Metrocenter
> Mall.
>
> - Follow Metro Parkway East for roughly 3/4 mile, just short of halfway
> around the loop. The Four Points Sheraton will be on your left, at
> 10220 N Metro Parkway East. It's not a high-rise, so you probably won't
> spot it till you're right in front of it. There's a "Bennigan's" sign
> on the right, just before the Sheraton entrance - if you pass Barnes &
> Noble, you've gone too far. Sheraton parking is free, and the lobby and
> registration desk are right off the front driveway. 602 997-5900 is the
> main hotel number if you need it.
>
> Coming in from the west on I-10, take exit 143 to I-17 north then follow
> the above directions from there.
>
> Coming in from the north down I-17, take exit 208, Peoria Ave. Turn
> right onto Peoria, take a left at the light onto 28th Drive, take your
> second left onto Metro Parkway East, and the Four Points will be a
> couple hundred yards down on your right.
>
> Space Access '05 will once again be a mix of the usual suspects and some
> interesting new additions, once again providing an intensive informal
> snapshot of where this fast-moving new cheap space access industry has
> gotten to as of spring 2005. Be there!
>
> Space Access '05 registration once again holds steady at $100 in advance,
> $120 at the door, $10 off for SAS members. $30 Student rate, no member
> discount. Day rates available at the door only. One year's SAS
> membership is $30.
