The Aicardi Syndrome Foundation generously covers most conference costs for participating families, as outlined below.
CONFERENCE FEE - There is no fee to attend the conference. It is open to all families of children with Aicardi syndrome.
HOTEL ROOMS – The AS Foundation will pay for ONE room per AS child on Friday (7/9) and Saturday (7/10). Families will be responsible for the tax, which will be about $12 per night for a standard room. The cost for extra rooms and/or extra nights is to be paid by the families at their own expense.
UPGRADES: If you choose to upgrade your room from the standard room, you will be responsible for the difference in charge (this includes the 2 nights that the AS Foundation pays for).
Each room includes a mini-bar. There will be a minimal charge (paid by families) for cribs, rollaway beds, or refrigerators. You will need to contact the hotel directly to arrange for these.
