Hotel Information
Our host hotel is The Tempe Mission Palms (missionpalms.com), a beautifully appointed hotel in the heart of downtown Tempe, about a 15-minute walk from the School. It is surrounded by several restaurants, shopping and some of downtown Tempe's most exciting nightspots. A city shuttle runs continuously from the hotel through the ASU campus to the School of Business. We will have both a shuttle and a guide available to walk you over from the hotel lobby on the first day of the event.
Attendees are responsible for making their own hotel arrangements. The Institute hotel rate is $189 per night (single or double rate). In addition, there is a $10.95 per night hospitality fee. The hospitality fee includes the following: airport transportation, valet parking at hotel, access to a health club and fitness center, local and toll-free telephone calls, high-speed wireless Internet access, incoming fax service, daily newspaper delivered to each guestroom and in-room coffee service.
Reservations must be made by February 9, 2010. After this date, rates and room availability are not guaranteed. To make reservations, call the hotel directly at 480-894-1400 and indicate that you are attending the "ASU Services Institute."
Meals and Networking Events
Refreshments will be served before class and at all the breaks. On Monday night there will be a reception in downtown Tempe. A networking lunch will be held Tuesday on the ASU campus. Tuesday night we will host an elegant reception under the stars at the beautiful Desert Botanical Garden. Lunch on Wednesday will be on your own, so you can explore downtown Tempe and ASU's Memorial Union.
Attire
The average March high temperature is 84 degrees, but the evenings and early mornings can be quite cool. Business casual dress is encouraged for all events. Because the temperature in the classroom can vary, we suggest you dress in layers. The Tuesday evening dinner will be outside and will involve a short walk across a gravel pathway to reach the venue. You may wish to walk around the grounds as well, so please wear comfortable clothes and footwear to this event.
