Hotel Registration

We've negotatiated a special discounted rate for OGDC attendees of $239, single or double occupancy, plus occupancy tax. This is a great rate for a fantastic hotel - these rooms are normally $429-489. This rate is not guaranteed outside the conference dates. Hotel room reservations can be made at the time of event registration, online, or by contacting the Fairmont and asking for the OGDC preferred rate.

To register online, visit the hotel website, and use promotional code GROGD1. Because this is a busy hotel season in Seattle, you will not be able to secure a room during the conference without the promotional code.
