The Embassy Suites is showing a rather low number of room bookings for our conference given the number of people who have pre-registered. We want to be sure there are no reservation problems and also for the conference to receive full credit for all room nights booked as this substantially lowers the cost of the meeting rooms to the Plains Conference.

If you have made reservations to stay at the Embassy Suites we are asking that you call the hotel and confirm your reservation and be sure to mention you are with the Plains Conference. The group code is PAS. This will confirm your reservation and insure that the conference gets full credit for all room nights booked by conference attendees. The hotel phone number is… 405 364-8040.

If you have not yet booked your room, be sure to use the code PAS when doing so.
