Norwescon 36 (2013) Election Update
Hello Norwescon ConCom members! Election season for Norwescon 36 (2013) continues!
Two more hotels!
Good news! We’ve just added two more hotels to our list of hotels close to the convention with special deals for Norwescon attendees. That brings us up to your choice of six hotels within a mile of the convention hotel, just in case you didn’t get rooms on-site!
Still need a room? We have a few left!
Norwescon has a number of rooms set aside in the room block for convention professionals. Several of these rooms are left over and we are making them available to convention members on a first come, first serve basis.

More Alternate Hotels
The Norwescon room block has been sold out since early November — but if you missed out on staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to stay close to the convention! In addition to the already announced Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, Norwescon has made arrangements with three other nearby hotels.

Norwescon 36 Room Cancellation Policy
A change is coming in the way we reserve rooms for Norwescon. It is a significant change for our members but we believe it will help us make more convention rooms available for our members at the cheaper convention rate.
