In fact, the cut-off date for guaranteed hotel rooms at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill is June 1. If you are planning to attend -- or are interested in attending, but have questions or need information about scholarships -- please contact the Network as soon as possible. Rooms will be available after the June 1 deadline, but we cannot guarantee the their availability or our negotiated room rate. Reservations can also be made by contacting the Hyatt directly at (800) 858-2872, ext. 8372. Please make your plans right away! This year's Forum will be held in Washington, DC June 27 - 30. The Forum is a unique event in the Parkinson's community - combining state-of-the-art research updates, intensive lobbying and advocacy training, opportunities to meet directly with your Senators, Representatives and key staff, and chances to meet and share ideas with Parkinson's activists from around the country. Registration is now open. If you would like more information or intend to register, please contact the Network as soon as possible. This year's Forum is being held at the Hyatt Regency hotel on Capitol Hill. A limited number of rooms are still available at the special event rate, but they are filling up fast - especially if you intend to stay in the hotel Saturday, June 26 or Wednesday, June 30. Summer is a very busy tourist season in Washington and room availability is limited. To make hotel reservations, call the Hyatt directly at (800) 858-2872, ext. 8372, and be sure to mention that you would like one of the rooms reserved for the Parkinson's Action Network Public Policy Forum.
