Conference Hotels
The conference hotels have been accepting reservations since June. As a result, several of the hotels are sold out. The DoubleTree Hotel, 301 West Franklin St., Richmond, Virginia 23220, has recently been added to the list of conference hotels and shuttle bus service will be provided to the Greater Richmond Convention Center daily during the conference. Check the conference website at http://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/attend/accommodations/ for the most up-to-date information on the hotels including room availability, amenities, rates, and contact information.
