JA-SIG's summer meeting will be held at the beautiful Westin Westminster in Westminster, Colorado, June 8 - 10, 2003.
Rooms and Rates

The Westin Westminster is a four diamond, first-class hotel ideally located halfway between Boulder and downtown Denver. Beautiful High Plaines décor draws upon the warmth and beauty of Colorado. Found in the heart of the city's promenade, the area is highlighted by shops, theatres, restaurants and the Sun Microsystems Ice Centre, the country's largest ice arena.

Offering spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains, accommodations at The Westin Westminster are elegantly appointed for comfort and convenience. Every guest room and suite features Heavenly beds and showers, a refreshment center, in-room safe, large work area, and a dual-line telephone with fax and high-speed Ethernet data ports.

JA-SIG has negotiated a special rate of $115 per night for a single or double occupancy room. This rate is subject to state and local taxes, currently 12.2%. In order to confirm your reservation, you must provide a major credit card. The credit card will only hold the room and will not be charged unless the reservation is cancelled less than 24 hours prior to scheduled check-in. Guests wishing to avoid an early checkout fee of $50 should advise the hotel at or before check-in of any change in planned length of stay.

Group rates will be offered three days before and three days after the dates of the conference, based upon availability. The JA-SIG room block will be held until May 11, 2003. After this date, the rooms will be released and reservations will be taken based on availability.

Area Attractions As mentioned above, Westminster is located halfway between the cities of Denver and Boulder, making it central to many of the features that draw visitors to Colorado. The Mile-High City (a.k.a. downtown Denver), approximately 20 minutes southeast of Westminster, features plenty of shopping, restaurants, museums, and bike paths to satisfy any visitor. Boulder is approximately 20 minutes to the northwest of the hotel and is a sportsman's dream. Hiking, biking, kayaking, and rock climbing are all available in or just outside of the city of Boulder. With 300+ days of sunshine a year, June is going to be a great time to visit Colorado!
