Registration and Room Reservation Information

CARL hopes as many conferees as possible will take full advantage of this “refuge by the sea” in its lovely oceanfront setting, by reserving rooms at the Asilomar Conference Center. When staying at the Asilomar Conference Center your housing fees include both lodging AND meals. Conference participants staying off-site will need to pay additional facilities/meals fees when they register for the conference (see fee schedule below for details).

PLEASE NOTE! Registrations for the pre-conference/conference programs and for lodging are TWO SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS. Conference registration is through CARL Conference RegOnline . Lodging is reserved directly through Asilomar. More information is provided below.

Asilomar Lodging Information

• To reserve lodging at Asilomar, fill out the Asilomar Housing Form. This form allows payment by check or credit card.
• Prices on the Housing Form include single, double and triple occupancy.
• Prices on the Housing Form reflect TWO NIGHTS stay with the option of adding a 3 rd night, for an additional fee, if attending pre-conferences. Make sure to check the “Check & Add” line on the Housing Form if you are staying the night of April 20, 2006 for the pre-conferences.
• Lodging fees cover all meals, appropriate taxes and the state parks access fee.
• All Asilomar lodging reservations must be made using the Housing Form, no phone calls please!

• To be assured of getting accommodations on the beautiful Asilomar grounds, complete their form(s) and send to the Asilomar Conference Center by Friday, February 10, 2006. After this date, on-site accommodations will be available on a space available basis only. Only 250 CARL conferees can reserve rooms on-site for the Main Conference, and only 100 for the Pre-Conference, so don't delay!

Asilomar Rooms

• Asilomar rooms do not have TVs or phones, but attendees can be notified immediately if there are emergency calls.
• Bringing cellular phones is fine, but please use them outside the building, as they set off the fire alarms! You are also welcome to bring a radio.
• Rooms do not have Internet connections, but you can use the Internet connections in the main lobby.
• Further information on lodging is available at the Asilomar Conference Center Accommodations web page.

Other Housing Options

Lodging is also available in the immediate area. However, as April is an especially popular tourist time, other hotels tend to fill up fast. We highly recommend you take advantage of the wonderful atmosphere and great deal on meals at Asilomar. However, if you want to look into other housing options try Go Monterey Lodging (http://www.gomonterey.com/lodging/featured.html) or Guestlife Monterey Hotels (http://www.guestlife.com/monterey/hotels/hotels.html) for more information on area hotels and inns.

If you need more information than is available on the conference Web site or have other questions about the conference or registration, you may, contact Kelly Janousek at janousek@csulb.edu or 562-985-7815. She will not accept registrations by phone, however.
