> Hi All, 
> 
> We have a confirmed contract for a location and dates for the 2008 
> JazzWeek Summit. 
> 
> We will be meeting at the same location as in 2006, the Clarion 
> Riverside Hotel in Rochester, N.Y., coinciding with the final three days 
> of the Rochester International Jazz Festival, which this year drew 
> 121,000 people. The dates are June 19-21, 2008. 
> 
> Hotel reservation information will be available shortly and conference 
> registration will open later this summer. 
> 
> The Clarion Riverside is undergoing a complete renovation and 
> modernization of all guest rooms, which will be completed in Feb. 2008. 
> Despite this, we have been able to negotiate with the hotel's new sales 
> manager a lower room rate than in 2006: a single- or double-occupancy 
> rate booked through the summit will be at $89 per night. That rate 
> extends from the Monday before to the Monday after the summit for those 
> who would like to take in more of the festival or tour the region. 
> 
> In addition, the hotel's restaurant and lounge are under new management, 
> with more casual seating available in the bar area, including leather 
> couches and chairs. 
> 
> The hotel has also extended a more favorable rate for meeting space, so 
> we are going to be able to reduce our registration rates from 2006 as well. 
> 
> Opportunities will be available for artist appearances; sponsorship of 
> continental breakfasts, afternoon refreshments and the awards brunch; 
> and promotional items for the summit gift bag. In addition, those 
> wishing to provide other hospitality at the summit will be able to 
> arrange this with hotel. Parts of the hotel are open for outside 
> beverages and/or catering while the conference level areas are only 
> available for food and beverage service through the hotel. 
> 
> We will follow with more information as it becomes available. More 
> summit details and the opening of registration will coincide with the 
> relaunch of the JazzWeek website and magazine later this summer.
