The conference was held at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel in New Castle, New Hampshire, about one hour north by car from Boston, Massachusetts and also accessible by plane, train, and motorcoach service. We reserved a block of deluxe rooms (choice of one king bed or two queens beds) from May 1st-4th, 2022 at a rate of $199/night (single/double occupancy). Rate was subject to applicable state and local taxes (currently 9%). See the flyer for details. Reservations were made by calling the hotel directly and referencing AG Academic Conference or by booking online via the Marriot website here. Rooms had to be booked by April 1st, 2022 to guarantee a room in the block at the conference rate. Reservations were refundable as long as cancellation was received three days prior to arrival. All rooms came with complimentary internet access and on-site parking.
