Hotel
The Westin is located downtown near the lakefront and is a 7 minute drive to our venue. It is also where our reception after-party will be held. Our block booking deadline has now passed. If you are still in need of a room, please call the hotel directly and mention the Carlson-Peterson block - depending on availability, they may or may not be able to still honor our group rate. You may also book directly via their website (link below - "View"), however, you would not be able to request our block via their site. Feel free to check other hotels and AirBNB as well if you choose not to stay at The Westin.
