Homebrewers Conference Registrant,<br>
<br>
We have a few messages for you about the up-coming conference:<br>
<br>
Additional Tickets for Pro-Brewers Night and Club Night Now Available<br>
We have moved these events into a larger hall and so are able to accommodate
additional attendees. Registration for both events is now available at:
https://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Register/IdentityConfirmation.aspx?e=f46759cc-1a24-4c12-83e0-8f5c888241c5.
Prices for both events are $45 for AHA members, $60 for non-members. Tickets
for Pro-Brewers Night and Club Night are exclusively for those events and do
not include access to the hospitality suite or any of the conference seminars.
All other registration options for the conference have been sold out.<br>
<br>
Additional Rooms Available at <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oakland</st1:place></st1:City>

National Homebrew Competition Judging<br>
Registration for judging and stewarding in the Final Round of the AHA National
Homebrew Competition (NHC) is now open. If you are a BJCP judge or wish to help
with stewarding, please take a moment to register. Judging will take place on
Thursday, June 18, 2009 from 9 AM until 5 PM. All conference seminars taking
place during the judging will be repeated later in the conference. Breakfast
and lunch is provided for judges and stewards working both sessions. A raffle
will be held following the judging.<br>

interested in judging or stewarding in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oakland</st1:place></st1:City>

<br>
Meet-Up Room at the Conference<br>
This year the AHA has arranged for a special "meetup" room that can
be reserved by groups at the conference. Email Drew Beechum,
drew@maltosefalcons.com, in advance of the conference if you'd like to arrange
for a meeting time. Use it for a club powwow or an internet board meet-up.<br>
<br>
Twitter<br>
The conference has a Twitter feed where you can learn the latest news. Right
now there are some basic announcements going out, but during the conference
itself, there will be continual updates and special announcements. You can even
have Twitter messages sent straight to your phone! Sign up at
http://twitter.com and you can find the conference at: http://twitter.com/2009AHAConf
<br>
<br>
See you in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oakland</st1:place></st1:City>,<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
