Hi, I was wondering, when would I have to book the hotel by to get that rate?
Also, I notice Sandusky seems to be a bit difficult to get to. Google seems to suggest I should take a airplane to Cleaveland, and then take a 3am amtrack train (no reasonable time choices) from there to Sandusky. Is that really the best travel option?

After more googling I found that greyhound offers more reasonable time buses (12:30pm). Anyways, more info on recommendations on transportation would be appreciated :)

Hi Brian,
For the hotel: there's no hard deadline by which hotel rooms have to be reserved, though earlier is better. We currently have a block of rooms assigned to us - if the demand exceeds that, then we can get more, unless they run out. Which apparently is more likely to happen on the Friday night after the conference. (We have rooms blocked for Friday night as well.) But earlier is safer.
I agree that the conference page should have more information about this, and about transportation options.

As much as I hate to recommend cars, Ohio is incredibly car-centric, so a rental car is probably your best bet. Public transportation in Ohio is sporadic and inefficient. It takes less than an hour to get to Sandusky from Cleveland Airport, whereas the trip on public transport could easily take several times that when you factor in getting to the Greyhound stop from Cleveland Airport and getting to the hotel from the Greyhound stop in Sandusky.
To minimise cost and keep it more economical, perhaps you could coordinate arrival/departure times on the wiki to try to group yourselves up and share the ride?
