Hotel Accommodations. All registrants are responsible for making their own hotel reservations, including any additional nights to attend the forum. Please be advised that to secure rooms at the JW Marriott Austin at the NARUC conference rate, you must be registered for the NARUC Annual Meeting.
Stipends. EEI is offering a limited number of stipends to participating state commissioners and consumer advocates for a 1-night credit at the JW Marriott Austin at the NARUC conference rate (or reimbursement for 1 night at an equal or lower rate at another hotel). Please indicate interest in a stipend during registration, and eligibility will be confirmed soon thereafter.
