UPDATE: ASOR’s block of rooms at The Westin San Diego is sold out and we are managing a wait-list:

Rooms open regularly due to reservation changes and we will make every effort to find a room for anyone who would like to stay at the conference hotel. If arrangements are made with an overflow hotel, that information will be posted here and shared with those on the wait-list.
