When and where will the conference be held?

This year’s PMC will take place September 24–25, 2007 at the Embassy Suites Phoenix/Scottsdale Golf Resort located at 4415 East Paradise Village Parkway South, Phoenix, AZ 85032. PH: 602-765-5800.

What should I wear?

Business casual attire is appropriate for all conference activities. Remember meeting room temperatures vary and we recommend you bring a sweater or jacked to sessions. The area average high is 90° and the average low is 70° in late September so please plan accordingly.

How do I get a hotel room for the conference?

AGA has a block of rooms reserved at the Embassy Suites for conference attendees. The special room rate is $103 (plus tax) per night for single or double occupancy. This rate is available until Friday, August 31, 2007, or until the room block sells out. Reservations received after August 31, or after the room block has been filled, will be made on a space-available basis, and may be subject to higher rates. To make reservations call the Embassy Suites at 602.765.5800 and be sure to mention you are attending the “AGA PMC.”

Reference the Association of Government Accountants to ensure you receive the conference rate.

If I cancel my conference registration, is my hotel room automatically canceled and vice versa?

No. These are independent of each other, and you need to cancel each separately. As a reminder, the hotel will charge a penalty for all reservations not canceled at least 48 hours before the scheduled arrival date.
