Note that payment will be directly to the critiquers, some of whom can take credit cards.This is on a drop-in basis and will be limited to ten-minute exchanges. A schedule will be available at the conference.

The rooms are comfortable and feature bathrooms in each room. Each room also comes with a full meal package.The number of rooms is limited. All questions or concerns need to be directed to the region, not to Claggett.
MEALS: Lodging includes meals. Friday night only package includes Friday dinner through Saturday lunch. Saturday night only package includes Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch. Commuters will also receive breakfast and lunch for the days they are in attendance.
The Hilton Garden Inn, 7226 Corporate Court, Frederick is also close and very accommodating. Their number is (240) 566-1500.
