Deadline: Discount LION conference hotel rate expiring
Time's running out to save on your hotel stay during the 2017 LION Summit. Thursday, September 28, is the deadline
Time's running out to save on your hotel stay during the 2017 LION Summit. Thursday, September 28, is the deadline to get our discount at the Best Western Grant Park Hotel.
LION Publishers has arranged a block of rooms for Oct. 26-28 at the Best Western Grant Park Hotelin Chicago, just a block from the site of the summit, at a special discounted rate of $174 for single rooms and $184 for double/double rooms. Register online here or call the hotel at (312) 922-2900 and mention "LION" to reserve a room. The deadline for obtaining that rate is Sept. 28, but the block of rooms could be filled up by then, so act soon.
The deadline has been extended by two days — it had been Sept. 26, but because so many rooms have already been reserved, the hotel agreed to add more rooms to our block and move back the deadline.
The group rate will be honored up to three days before and after the conference, for those who wish to spend some extra time in Chicago.

If you'd like to explore other accommodations, we have several neighboring hotels listed on the map in the conference section of our website.
If you haven't yet signed up for the 2017 LION Summit, do it today and save money — before regular registration ends. It'll still be a tremendous value after that, but why not add your name to the list of attendees while it's still a screaming deal?
