2006 Symposium

[Mike Cunningham]

Can someone tell me, where in Louisville will the symposium be held? Thanks!

 

[Jeff Jilg]

The Symposium info starts getting disseminated in the Winter AW Journal. When the info in the journal is finalized I also post it to the website. That will be very soon.

Registration for the symposium is opened in the March-April timeframe, and is initially announced in the Spring issue. When that particular info is available it is also posted on the website.

Thanks

Thanks Jeff. I'm just looking to get an early hotel reservation........

Thanks

I've seen Galt house advertized at Expedia, is it near where the symposium will be located is the question. I wanted the symposium location in order to reserve a room as nearby as possible.
Thanks

Galt House sold out for July and August 2006

I checked their site for availability:

Thanks

Yes but, I wonder if it's 1 block or 10 miles from wherever the symposium will be held. That's what I'd like to determine. As Jeff mentioned, I suppose won't have that answer until this winter.

Hi Mike, Vince here.
I Live 8 Miles from the Galt House and if it is sold out another close hotel is the Marriot. It is with walking distance (1-2 Blocks) from the Galt House and will offer the same type of accomidations. Also the Marriot is brand new completed 15 months ago. If I can help any of you with this sort of info please let me know. Vince

The symposium will actually be held at the hotel - The Galt House. They put the rotations in different meeting rooms and then have a big combined room for the trade show, etc.

 

[Mike Cunningham]

Duh

Hi Pete,

Late last night it dawned on me that Gynia probably meant just that. I guess I wasn't operating on all eight cylinders and I was under the impression at the time that the Galt house was simply a hotel.

Thanks for confirming. I can go ahead with my plans.

Thanks again and best regards,
Mike

Will there be a group discount on rooms?

Hi,

Any idea when the demonstrators will find out if they have been accepted please? I applied and have not heard back yet.

take care,
Jim

All y'all are an impatient lot aren't you!

The info on the symposium will be on the website within the next 30 days.

For demonstrators - from the application form "Each applicant will be informed of the Board’s decision by November 30, 2005. " We're finalizing the bulk of the demonstrator list at this point. Why would we want to finalize the list early if we can wait until the last second (Nov 30)??? :cool2:

 

[Mike Cunningham]

Hi Jeff
Speaking for myself, I am impatient to receive info, but only because I want to insure getting a room on site......they do fill up quickly and I don't want to be housed miles a way.

 

[Dave Peebles]

Hi Jeff,

I agree with Mike. The earlier we get the info, the better.

Why the wait on where it will be taking place. It looks like it will be the Gault house from the other posters, but why do we have all the mystery. If it is being held there... just say so!! Or is it still being debated?

I would think this is the place to get accurate info.. After all, this is the official AAW forum.

Rolled the dice

Dave,

What I did was take a chance that these fellow members are correct and made reservations at Galt House. If this was an organization other than AAW, one would get the impression that they're not releasing the info until certain chosen people can make their reservations, but I really can't believe that's the case...............

Best,
Mike

 

[Jeff Jilg]

I'm not going to bleed out tidbits of info prior to their announcement. It could easily become a large Q&A session on dozens of different unannounced items of the symposium and other topics from the AAW. Yes it will be at the Galt House. I doubt there will be a shortage of rooms the moment we do the formal announcement.

As it is, I've spent over 15 hours doing board member work this week. Not complaining. But also I'm not looking to add more to the load.

 

[Mike Cunningham]

Thanks Jeff

Thanks for giving us the info that we were looking for Jeff. Great work that you're doing here!

Mike

Galr House Reservations

Hi all,

I just called the Galt Hotel yesterday and made reservations for the Symposium. I was told they have plenty of rooms under the American Association of Woodturners name that are available. Rooms start at $99.00 and suites at $119.00.

Better hurry, though, they'll probably go fast.

See you all there,

Phil Axtell
