Be sure to say "SIGUCCS"!

When registering for your room, be sure to say that you're requesting a room from the SIGUCCS block. If you're told that block is sold out, ask to speak to a supervisor.


Make Saturday reservations NOW!

We expect all Bloomington hotel space for Saturday night, October 24, to be sold out early. (Bob Knight is hosting a coach's clinic that weekend.) If you plan to attend a Sunday tutorial or otherwise plan to stay Saturday night, make your room reservation NOW.

Bloomington is a popular place in October. Even if you're not staying Saturday night, get your reservations in early.
