***UPDATE (October 17) - Additional rooms have been set aside at the Hilton. ***
If you tried to get and room and were told that the conference block
was taken. Try again now. All should be fixed.

For hotel accommodations, you can reserve a room at the Hilton Garden (508-753-5700) located across the street from DCU Center. Let them know you're with Transcending Boundaries for a group rate of $121 per night. This is a brand new hotel, so you need to call them directly to make a reservation.
There is also a Hampton Inn (508-757-0400).
