    ROGCON POSTS EVENT DATE CHANGE:

    Due to some issues with the hotel room booking system we had to revise the dates of the event. The new dates are August 8th to August 10th. One of the key factors for moving the event was the much lower rates we were able to secure for attendees. The new rates are $99.00 per night instead of $145.00. Please wait until Monday June 23rd to call for reservations. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-633-7313.
