LODGING & TRAVEL

The conference will be held at the Duluth Radisson in downtown Duluth. Conference attendees may book rooms at the Radisson Hotel in Duluth at a discounted conference rate of $109 + tax per night. The month of October is still in the height of tourist season in Duluth, so hotels typically fill up in mid-summer. If you would like to extend your visit to Duluth, the Radisson has offered this rate to our participants from Sunday, October 2 through Thursday, October 13. As of August 18, the Radisson Hotel is full. The hotel does not have additional rooms available for conference attendants. We have blocked more rooms at nearby hotels, and have posted a list of other hotels below.

Telephone: Reserve your room directly with the Duluth Radisson by calling 1-800-333-3333 or 218-727-8981. Our room block is under the name “Raptor Research Foundation.”
Email: If you are unable to call the hotel directly, email conference coordinator Julie O’Connor (RRFinDuluth@aol.com) and she will facilitate your reservation.
Internet: Online reservations will not be credited to our block and may not receive the discounted room rate.

Additional lodging options in the Duluth area can be found on the Hawk Ridge website or www.visitduluth.com

Looking to share a room during the conference? The easiest way is to contact other RRF members on our Facebook Page. Students can also look for other students on the ECRR Facebook page.
