[CQ-Contest] Room Reservations for Dayton 2020 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Dayton

[Tim Duffy]

UPDATE: After the 2019 Crowne Plaza experience I conducted a  thorough
review of all available facilities in the Dayton/Xenia area including
several site visits. I also met with key stake holders and they assure me
that the security issues with the Crowne have been dealt with. Local
authorities have given assurances that there will be improvements during our
stay for 2020. The adjoining parking garage work will be completed in time
for our arrival. Therefore contester activities will stay at the Crowne for
2020.

*** Contest University USA 2020 *** will be held in Dayton - all day - at
the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, May 14, 2020. 

2020 RESERVATIONS at the Crowne Plaza Dayton open on Monday, September 16,
2019 at 9 AM EDT. This is the Contest University room block. The 2020 rate
is $149.00 per night (same for single or double) plus tax.

If you stayed at the Crowne Plaza this past May (Dayton 2019) and you filled
out a 2020 Crowne Plaza hotel reservation form (left under your door on
check-out day) and then dropped it off at the Crowne Plaza registration
desk, then you should have or will get an email confirmation (with a
confirmation number) from the Crowne Plaza for your 2020 Dayton reservation.

If you would like to make a reservation for Dayton 2020 - the remaining
Crowne Plaza rooms will be available for reservations starting Monday,
September 16, 2019 at 9:00 AM EDT (eastern USA time). 

The GROUP CODE must be used to get in this room block. GROUP CODE is CON

You must use the Contest Group Code CON when you make your reservation.
This special Group Code will not work if you try to use it before 9:00 AM
EDT on September 16, 2019. Your reservation can only be made starting after
9:00 AM EDT on Monday, September 16, 2019 and only with the CON Group Code.

You may also call the reservation line - use the special CON Group Code -
after 9:00 AM EDT on September 16, 2019. 1-800-689-5586 or 937-229-9853.

As the phones get jammed - your BEST bet is to use the website.

I expect the Crowne Plaza hotel will sell out very very quickly - so please
plan your reservation submission accordingly.
