Hospitality Suites
Hospitality suites are only available to companies who are exhibiting during the 2008 NCSS Annual Conference.  Exhibitors requesting a suite should do so through the NCSS Housing Bureau at the same time that sleeping room requests are made.  Upon approval by NCSS, the Housing Bureau will send a confirmation. Note: NCSS prohibits the scheduling of hospitality events (educational or social) which conflict with program keynote speakers.
