Trauma and Dissociation 2014 Conference - ugent update

Hi Everyone,

This is a notice to those who may be interested in attending this conference and in need of lodging.   Many of you are familiar with the Seattle area and know that late Sept. and early October are popular tourist times here - as well as for conference.  What can often happen is that hotels - ALL OF THEM - get booked and there are simply no hotels available at all anymore.  The hotel is reporting being booked out three months right now for the weekend of the conference.  That means that within possibly the next month, this hotel will be booked up.  Please, please - if you are at all planning on coming to this conference, book your rooms now.  You always have the option later of cancelling the rooms.  If you have questions, you can always contact me at felicity4us2@gmail.com.

We have rooms available in our block for the special prices still:

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Seattle Airport -
18740 International Boulevard, Seattle, Washington, 98188,

Please tell them that you are booking with Ivory Garden so that we get credit. If you book for longer, you can use coupons you find, etc., but still tell them to credit Ivory Garden for the rooms. Thank you.

The discounted rooms are all together and are set for Friday and Saturday nights. Ask for rates for Thursday night.

If you are sharing rooms, you can call and have them set up for each roommate. For instance, you would call in and tell them the names in your group and set up just your part (for example, for 4 ppl – 1/4th of the rate). Then, the next person would call and do the same. Any information can be changed later.

Here are the rates and information:

These rates are for 1 night (on Fri and Sat) – and are total for all guests.

Room for 1 person – $109.00 – King size bed.

Room for 2 people – $109.00 – choice of 1 king size bed or 2 queens

Room for 3 people – $114.00 – 2 queen size beds

Room for 4 people – $114.00 – 2 queen size beds

These rates are for 1 night (Thursday only) – and are total for all guests.

Room for 1-4 people – any arrangements of beds – $129.00

We only have a limited number of rooms for these prices. Please make sure that you mention Ivory Gardens when you book from our group rates.

Please give the hotel this code: IVG to let them know that you are coming for our conference and directly contact

For these special rates, contact

Ms. Bobbi Barkley, CMP CGMP | Sr. Sales Manager or ask for Kelly.

Direct (206) 248-4330

There should be no ‘pet’ charge for service dogs. Let me know if you have trouble with this.

You can have small fridge and microwave at a small charge.

We are doing what we can to get everyone here and comfortable.  It would help us tremendously, if you emailed me your name - no other information necessary until you register - so that I can make sure that you got the best rates for your rooms.
