“Soaring to New Heights”
HypnoBirthing®

2008 International, Educational Conclave

 

General Information


The Annual HypnoBirthing® Conclave is our once-a-year gathering that gives us all an opportunity to greet and meet old friends and make new friends with like minds and a like mission.

We have found a spot that is perfectly matched to our needs and that we know will make for a memorable Conclave -- the Austin Doubletree Hotel, a charming and gracious hotel with colonial Spanish architecture and Southwest décor.  The dates selected for this year’s Conclave are October 3rd, 4th, and 5th.  Registration will take place on Friday afternoon, beginning at 4 p.m.

We are planning 4 Plenary Sessions and 16, 90-minute classes to select from. Of course, we will also hold the one- and two-day pre- and post- Conclave certification programs, featuring those specialty classes that you’ve been waiting for. We also have plenty of central, wide open space for Exhibits for those of you who have products or services you want to highlight.

There will be a complimentary Welcome Reception on Friday evening, followed by our Friday evening program. This year we are pleased to present Debby Takikawa's mini film festival of Natural Birthing Stories. The Saturday evening Awards and Recognition Banquet, will be followed by a great entertainment program.

The Doubletree Hotel is at 6505 N Route IH-35 in Austin. Everything about our venue lends itself to our kind of people. The room rate is $119, which represents a significant discount from the standard rate of $189 (Typical in metropolitan city), for either double or single rooms.  You can call for reservations at 1-800-347-0330. You will need to secure your reservation with a credit card, and the hotel started taking reservations on February 1.  Reservations must be made prior to September 8, in order to receive the special rate.  Right now the Code Name to get the special rate when you call is HypnoBirthing.  It may change for those who wish to reserve on line.  We will give you that number s soon as we receive it. Please keep in mind when making your travel arrangements that the rates that are extended to the Institute for all of the events and the meeting rooms are based on a guaranteed number that will need to be met in room pickups and banquet and food consumption.  This is what allows us to keep our Conclave registration fees considerably lower than other conferences.

If you are arriving by plane you will come into the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. There will be a Super Shuttle service from the airport to the hotel for approximately $15 per person. A taxi will cost approximately $30. If you are driving in, we will provide a map for you when your registration is confirmed.

With its unique venues, fabulous hotels, golf courses, amusement parks, museums, and unforgettable restaurants, Austin—The Live Music Capital of The World--has everything you would expect in a great host city.  But it’s the things you don’t get everywhere else that make it so special for visitors—a thriving live music scene, Texas hospitality, and a laid-back vibe that makes Austin such a great place to hold our Conclave.  So come early for a certification class and stay late for a second certification class; and make the most out of the excitement that Austin offers.  You deserve to treat yourself and your family to a vacation that will be unforgettable (and deductible).   You’ll also learn a lot too.

More to come—Stay tuned!
