Regulations Governing Assignment of Tickets

The Refresher Course Lectures and Clinical Update Program will be presented at the 2001 ASA Annual Meeting, Saturday through Wednesday, October 13-17, 2001. The lectures will be held in the Morial Convention Center.

A reservation form was included with the Annual Meeting registration materials sent in June. The form allows you to list choices for obtaining lecture tickets. The price of tickets for each lecture is $10 for all registrants.

The 2001 Annual Meeting Refresher Course Lectures book containing summaries of the lectures, also available on CD-ROM, will be distributed free of charge at the Annual Meeting site to those who purchase four or more lecture tickets. Additional copies will be available at the meeting for $15 per copy. The 2001 Annual Refresher Course Lectures book or CD-ROM will be distributed at the Annual Meeting instead of through the mail to ensure that each registrant purchasing four or more tickets receives the book and to save on escalating mailing costs. The registration area will be open from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 12. This schedule will enable participants to register prior to the lectures.

Tape recording will not be permitted during the lectures. Anyone planning to attend any of the Refresher Courses should make reservations at the earliest possible date. Requests will be filled as they are received at the ASA Executive Office.


Special Airline Arrangements, Car Rentals Offered

Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and International Travel Service (ITS), in cooperation with ASA, have made special arrangements to offer Annual Meeting participants discount air fares for the 2001 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Both United Airlines and Delta Air Lines will offer a 10-percent discount on unrestricted coach fares or a 5-percent discount on the lowest applicable fares, including first-class tickets. An additional 5 percent will be added to the above discounts if tickets are purchased 60 days in advance.

In some cases, the discounts allowed by Delta and United may not be the most economical fare, depending on the routing and special promotion fares available. Delta and United will confirm the lowest rates at the time reservations are made. If you normally use the services of a travel agent, your agent may place your reservations through a toll-free number to obtain the same discount.

For reservations and information, call Delta Air Lines toll-free: (800) 241-6760, mentioning account number 171359A. Call United Airlines toll-free: (800) 521-4041, mentioning account number 557FO. Call ITS toll-free: (800) 621-1083. When making reservations, mention that you will be attending the ASA Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

Rental cars are available at reduced rates through Avis Rent-a-Car and Budget Rent-a-Car. For Avis, call toll-free: (800) 331-1600 and mention account number J096028. For Budget, call toll-free: (800) 722-3773 and mention account number U063610. Discounted rates are extended one week before to one week after the ASA Annual Meeting dates.
