| We have identified two local hotels that will provide
reduced rates for our summit. Both hotels are in the Cambridge area
and have shuttles to MIT / Kendall Square. Currently, we are holding
a total of 60 rooms for out-of-town participants. Please note that you should book your room
quickly. Many hotels are sold-out because of a 15,000 person
convention in town on the same weekend.
NOTE: Discounted rates are available at the Royal Sonesta
Hotel (617-806-4200) for $159 (plus local taxes and $27 for parking
if needed) and the Best Western Hotel Tria (617-491-8000) for $130
(plus local taxes and $12 for parking if needed.) Visit
www.sonesta.com or www.hoteltria.com and mention Global Sufficiency
Summit. Please make your hotel reservation early as the hotels are
holding blocks of rooms for the Global Sufficiency Summit for a
limited time only: Hotel Tria until March 22 and Royal
Sonesta until March 26. The quoted discount rates will be
honored by both hotels after these respective dates depending on
availability. The hold on room blocks will be released.
