If you are planning to go to the 2010 GeoDomain Expo in New Orleans this month and have not yet booked your hotel room, time is running out. The show will be held at the historic Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria Hotel April 28-30 and those dates happen to coincide with one of the biggest annual events in the Big Easy - the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. 

People will be coming to the city from all over the world for the 40th anniversary of that landmark music festival so hotel rooms in New Orleans are going to be next to impossible to find. Organizers of the GeoDomain Expo reserved a block of rooms for their event but the hotel has informed them that after Tuesday (April 6) all rooms in their block that have not been reserved will be taken back so they can accommodate demand for space from people coming in for the music festival. 

So, if you want to be at this unique industry event reserve your room now before you forget. To get the discounted $229 per night GeoDomain Expo rate when booking, call 504-335-3138, reference Geodomain Expo, and let them know your arrival and departure dates or book online through this page set up for GeoDomain Expo attendees.  If you think you may want to go to the show but can't finalize your plans by Tuesday, you should can still go ahead and reserve the hotel room now. There is no upfront charge and you can cancel your reservation up to 3 days before arrival with no penalty (if you don't cancel and don’t show up, the hotel will charge for a one night stay).

In a bit of good news, with the hotel deadline being set at an earlier cutoff date than had been expected, show organizers decided to extend an early bird discount that was set to expire today through Tuesday (April 6) to match the hotel reservation deadline. As a result, the current early registration fee of $995 will still be honored through the 6th, after which it will move up to $1,195. You can register for the Expo here and the show agenda can be reviewed on this page.
