The conference will be at the Embassy Suites in Pioneer Square. LION is offering a discounted group rate of $199 plus tax for a limited hotel block at the Embassy Suites on a first come, first serve basis. Your room at the Embassy Suites also includes breakfast and an afternoon happy hour.
To receive this group rate, you must book before Sept. 21. After this date, or after LION fills its room block, the room rate will increase. The hotel will honor this rate any time from Wednesday, Oct. 21–Sunday, Oct. 25.
