The HECA 2012 Conference is being held at the state-of-the-art Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center, where sessions and exhibitors are within steps of each other and just an elevator ride from your hotel room. The Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center is approximately 20 minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport and 2 miles from NJ Transit's Convent Station with trains direct from New York Penn Station.

We are pleased to offer block rates to HECA members who reserve rooms at the Hamilton using the HECA group code #3AB2YF.  Click here to visit the Hamilton's web site.

Please note: Housing is not included in the conference registration fee and must be booked directly with the Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center by calling  in-house reservations at 973-301-9717. Be sure to reference HECA group #3AB2YF to receive the HECA conference discount.

IMPORTANT HOUSING UPDATE:

As we predicted, this year's annual conference will be our most popular ever! The headquarters hotel, Hamilton Park is already sold out for Monday, June 18 and Tuesday, June 19.  There are still plenty of rooms for Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone who wants to attend to have a room at a nearby hotel, and to also have convenient and free transportation back and forth. Rooms are currently available at the Ramada East Hanover, a comfortable hotel that is a 15 minute FREE shuttle from Hamilton Park. A FREE hot breakfast (bacon & eggs, pancakes) is included in the price

Ramada East Hanover
130 Rt 10 West
East Hanover, NJ 07936
973-386-5622

HECA has now contracted a rate of $79 for a single or double at the Ramada. The only way to make a reservation is to call the hotel at 973-388-5622 and ask for the HECA rate. This is a refundable rate up to June 10. No other discounts, such as AAA, will apply. 

If you have any issues, please let us know by emailing: richardporth@optimum.net. There are other hotels in the area, but we are trying to bundle at the Ramada to facilitate easy and convenient transfers to Hamilton Park.

We will post additional information on this web page if/as the housing situation changes, so please be sure to check often. Our goal is to provide up to date information that makes the process easy for you.

Hamilton Park Housing Options for Sunday, Wednesday or Thursday night:

• Single occupancy  Sunday - Thursday  $159 (plus tax) per night
• Double occupancy Sunday - Thursday  $79  (plus tax) per person, per night

• Single occupancy  Friday - Saturday  $109 (plus tax) per night

If you are booking a room for 2 people, please be sure to give both names.

We suggest that attendees make their reservations early, as the conference should be our biggest yet!  Please also be mindful to promptly cancel reservations if circumstances change, both to avoid a fee, and to ensure that rooms are available for others.

For those attending the Pre-Conference Workshop or the Pre-Conference Hudson Valley Tour, housing will open on Sunday, June 17.
