The 2008 HOW Design Conference will be held at the Hynes Convention Center,
conveniently located within walking distance of almost everything.
Special hotel note: Our discounted room blocks at the Omni, Colonnade, Sheraton,
Westin, Marriott and Hilton are sold out, but there will likely be a high number of
cancellations as the HOW Conference approaches. If you want to stay in one of these
hotels, check in with them often for availability. (Try calling rather than booking
online—you'll probably have better luck). The discounted rate is only available
until each hotel's cut-off date, listed below.
We've also arranged discounts on car rental and airfare; please reference the codes
provided below for your discounted rates. For parking options near the Hynes Convention Center,
