The people putting on Euro PVM/MPI are negotiating room rates to cover the MPI Forum also. What I need are firm commitments from those planning to attend the Forum, which nights they will want a room (I think this makes a significant effect on rate, and availability of the hotel close to the meeting location). The meeting is scheduled for Sept 3-5, and I am asking for add on to the conference dates of Sept 2-6. Please let me know with the next day or so. Please just respond to me personally. Thanks, Rich
