Hotel Information

Guest Rooms

Note: We need to provide a total of 200 guest room nights, or the convention will be charged extra fees.  To ensure the event is a success, please consider staying in a room even if you live locally. Plus, you’ll save time driving back and forth, and if you have to go home you’ll miss out on a lot of social activity that goes on later in the evening!

Hotel guests save $ 20.00 off on their convention registration! Discount applies to one badge per room. If you’re staying at the hotel, be sure to reserve your room first and then complete your registration, since you’ll need to give us your confirmation number to get your discount. Go to the Hyatt Reservations page to start the registration process, or call Hyatt Reservations at 1-888-421-1442 and ask for “Bricks by the Bay” group rate. Note: do not call the Santa Clara hotel directly; reservations must go through the national reservations desk.

We are also having a no host bar on Saturday night (August 10, 2013, Bayshore room) for adult attendees; if you are drinking please refrain from driving. Staying at the hotel is a great way to avoid this problem!
