Registrations for Convergence have been underway for several months and are going strong. In the cold winter months that some of us are suffering through, who wouldn't want to begin planning a vacation somewhere nice and warm..and with all the chubs and chasers about, one could even call the temperature at convergence HOT and STEAMY?
We have been working on things behind the scenes here as well and we have several news items to whet your appetite. In response to all your feedback regarding the staple farewell brunch, we are adding it into the schedule for Orlando. Now you will have a chance to share their heartfelt goodbyes with all the wonderful men that you met over the Labor Day Weekend. As always, the farewell brunch will be the Monday morning of the convergence weekend. See the schedule for more details.
Our most common question from you, by far, is how to reserve the hotel. Details are still coming in from the hotel how you can do it online, but for those who want to finalize their reservations at the event price, simply call the hotel at 1-800-327-0363 and let the reservation agent know you are with the "Affiliated Big Men's Club" event to get the $75 price. Stay tuned, on the hotel front...we are working on allowing you to register your hotel stay through chubconvergence.com as well. News here as it unfolds!
On a related note, the International Plaza hotel was in the process of being purchased by Doubletree hotel group at the time we selected them, but had not finalized yet. This may have caused some confusion for many of you as the name of the hotel has changed to the Doubletree Resort: International Drive. The new site can be found at http://www.doubletreeorlandoidrive.com. You may see the hotel name interchangeably used between the old and the new title...the address and amenities remain the same though.
Finally, we wanted to communicate to all of you a special onsite deal that we have worked out with the hotel for all guests of the event. Any food purchased on property from any of the four dining options available, is at a 20% discount! From the Bamboo Grille to the Poolside bar, we have you covered.
