The Microwave Update 2016 “Early Bird” discount is being extended to Thursday September 22 nd . 

This date is the same as the deadline for the discounted block of rooms we have at the Holiday Inn – Airport West . In addition to the discounted rate the block of rooms include a free breakfast on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The hotel does not normally include free breakfast with their room rates. Please consider staying at the Holiday Inn as the hotel gives us a break on the cost of putting on the conference by the number of rooms we sell. Without this break the cost of the conference would be much more.
