Hotel Accommodations
A limited number of rooms are being held at a reduced rate for WebWise Conference attendees at the Holiday Inn Miami Beach. Since March is peak season for Miami Beach, we do expect all hotels in the area to be sold out during the dates of the WebWise Conference. Participants are encouraged to make their reservations immediately in order to ensure availability.

The following are the instructions for making discounted reservations at the Holiday Inn:

Holiday Inn Miami Beach
4333 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33140
Reservations: 305.532.3311 or 1.800.832.8332

To book rooms at the Holiday Inn Miami Beach, call Reser vations between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Eastern Time. In order to receive the group rate of $225.00/night + 13% tax (single or double occupancy), please indicate that you are attending the WebWise Conference. The cut-off date for reservations is Sunday, February 3, 2008. However, we recommend that you make a reservation immediately in order to ensure availability.

Please note that the Holiday Inn requires a deposit equal to one night’s room and tax at the time you make your reservation. Any reservation cancelled within a seven (7) day window of your arrival date will forfeit the advance deposit. In addition, upon check-in, you will be asked to re-verify your date of departure. Once your departure date has been re-confirmed, a $100.00 early departure fee will apply.
