Last year's event was November 9-12, 2007.
I don't believe the 2008/09 calendar is set yet, but I just got off the phone with a board member, and he believes it's November 7-9.
There are a TON of hotels within walking distance, and a couple that are attached to the skywalk system.
Let me know if you need more information.
I will post the dates of the event when they are confirmed.
