800-1000 is a pretty good estimate

working now, could have been a problem with the passing storm?

correct on both counts

Important information regarding the IPMS Awards Banquet. Anyone who has registered for the national convention or who still plans to, who have NOT bought a banquet ticket, please note the last day to purchase a banquet ticket will be Sunday 27 July 2014. No ticket sales will be offered after this date and there will be no tickets sold at the door or at the convention registration desk once the doors open on 6 August. We have contracted for special catering requirements to allow for more than two meal options which require us to lock these numbers down well in advance in order to allow the caterer to plan for and prepare the meals. Please don’t delay, purchase your banquets tickets before it’s too late.

Steve When did you register for the convention, I do not see your name in our registered database?

Mike Sorry you have to cancel out on this event. Please send Jared Nuss and email using the address below to request your refund. Registration Coordinator Jared Nuss [email protected]

The National Convention in Hampton VA is less than 45 days away. If you’re planning to go but haven’t made hotel arrangements please note that all unsold hotel rooms for the convention will be returned on 5 July. That means the negotiated hotel convention rate for each hotel will also expire after that date. In addition, the cut off for ticket sales the welcome social and BBQ dinner is 15 July.

The schedule is complete and should be updated to the website today, it is out on the Facebook site. Please check both sites as the Facebook site is much easier to get news out more quickly. Click on the Facebook link at the bottom left of the convention webpage

Rick, that is our hope as well, but so far, I have to say ticket sales for the Wounded Warrior event and tour ticket sales in general have not been that great. I know it is still early, but there will be a time in the near future where we will have to make a "go/no-go" decision about the Wounded Warrior event in particular.

Ok folks we’re fast approaching the 60 day mark before doors open on the 50th Anniversary IMPS USA National Convention. Our team has now shifted into high gear putting plans into action. Our Hotels are nearly sold out. Red Roof Inn ($59) and Spring Hill Suites ($129) still have rooms available… the Spring Hill Suites property offers complimentary breakfast included! For anyone still needing to book a room, note After 1 July … ALL UNSOLD ROOMS WILL BE RETURNED TO HOTEL INVENTORIES and you will lose the convention rate. Also please come support our Wounded Warriors coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. 100% of the proceeds from our opening social and dinner at the Virginia Air and Space Center go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project. Come dine on awesome BBQ with all the trimmings and beverages, while having the exclusive run of the museum packed with commercial, military and NASA aircraft and artifacts. Tickets are on sale now $30 for Adults and $15 for kids ... just click on the “National Convention Tours and Benefit Dinner” tab in the IPMS On-line store! Please help us welcome home our troops especially those who’ve given so much for us!

It’s now 110 days and counting until we open the doors on the 2014 Nation Convention and hotels are selling out. The good news is we still have plenty of rooms available at both the $129 and $59 price points. Here is the current status of our six convention properties. Embassy Suites, Marriott Courtyard and Hilton Garden Inn are sold out. Days Inn and Red Roof are both about 50% booked while Springhill Suites, has about 75% of their rooms still available. We had some problems with the web link for Springhill Suites, but this that has recently been fixed. The new link for this property is: Book your group rate: IPMS >> A reminder… reservations at any convention property must be made before 1 July to ensure you receive the convention rate. After that date all excess room inventory after that date must be returned to the respective hotels and receiving the convention rate cannot be guaranteed. So if you know you’re coming and haven’t booked a room, please do so soon. And by the same token if you know your plans have changed and you can’t come but have a reservation at one of the hotels, please cancel your reservation so another person can use it before the 3 July cut-off. Thanks

Folks Hotels are indeed filling up as we approach mid-Spring. Despite our efforts we've had difficulties with the web-link from Springhill Suites that was posted on our convention website under lodging. As a result we now suggest calling the hotel directly to make your reservations. the hotel address is: Spring Hill Suites Hampton, 1997 Power Plant Parkway · Hampton, Virginia 23666 USA. The numbers are posted on the lodging page but are: 1 (757) 310-6333 or toll free at 1 (888) 236-2427. Remember to make sure you get the IPMS Group rate of $129+tax/night. Please also be aware all advertised convention hotel rates expire on or about 5 July 2014, so if you haven't booked yet, please keep that in mind. Tom

No problem, hope you enjoy the convention
