@bollman, dates are most definitively confirmed. Book your flights now! Pro Tip: if you stay within walking distance of the Guthrie, you probably don't need a car, as, unlike most places in the States, the light rail will take you from the airport to within walking distance of the hotels near the Guthrie...
This will be my third JNUC, I'd say most of Minneapolis is within walking distance. ;-) We stayed at the Normandy last year. The morning walk to Guthrie was a great start of every morning, stopping by some Dunn's for brekkie.
I love the idea of this, as a future customer (sometime next month we're purchasing) I see a great value in this. Flying out from Orange County California this will be my first time going to both MN and going to a JNUC.
I need my company to book flight and hotel at the same time (because that's just how they roll when it comes to approving professional development requests). Any idea when we'll get a hotel code or anything?
Hmm, interesting that the Aloft isn't listed yet on the Accommodations page. Probably just working out some details with them on that, 'cause I can't imagine they aren't going to be participating this year in JNUC discounted rooms. Not that I care much since I don't necessarily like the Aloft. Has anyone stayed at the Best Western Plus Normandy Inn & Suites before? If so, how was it? It looks OK from what I can see, but I've never been there. Its the most cost effective of the ones listed (although that might be because its a bit further from the Guthrie than the others) I may just go Residence Inn this time if I can get in there. I always like Residence Inn rooms.
