Meeting Hotel

We have made a blanket no-cost cancellation of all original (September) hotel reservations of conference participants. If you paid a guarantee, you should receive a refund. If you don't see the refund on your credit card, please contact the hotel directly.

If you are receiving support from Yohkoh10 to cover your hotel stay, please contact Jana Halvorson (jana@mcn.net), conference coordinator, with the dates of your stay, and she will make reservations on your behalf.

You must mention the Yohkoh10 Research Meeting to secure these rates when you make your hotel reservations. Rooms before or after the meeting dates may be booked at the conference rate as available.
