Presenters will have the option of having CCS publish PowerPoint versions of their presentations (spoken or poster presentations) on the society web page. Abstracts of all presentations will be included in the Proceedings of the conference, which is posted on the CCS web site.
All rooms are oceanfront 1 bedroom suites, with kitchen/dining/work areas, a king-size bed in the bedroom, and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. Because these are suites, up to 4 adults can comfortably share a room. Hotel Reservations at the discounted conference rate should be made by calling 321-773-9260. When you make your reservation, be sure to tell the reservation desk that you are coming for CO3. The conference promotional rate is $154.99 + tax per night. The hotel holds a limited number of rooms at that rate and these are "first come, first serve" so make your reservations early! Note that a small number of rooms are available at the conference rate before the conference begins (Tuesday night) and after the conference (Sunday night). You may want to take advantage of this if you decide to extend your stay in Florida.
