UPDATE: The conference hotel (Seaport Hotel, see below – there may still be cancellations, so it's possible that odd rooms become available; however, it is not likely) is now full, so the attendees should seek alternative accommodations in Boston. To assist in this regard, the EHA has reserved additional rooms (15 in total) at a nearby hotel at the same nightly rate ($189). The overflow hotel is Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. The deadline to make a reservation is August 26, 2011.
