MER CONVENTION DATE CHANGE

Marriott, Research Triangle Park, will be embarking on a construction project which will negatively impact the MER Piedmont Junction Convention dates of September 26-29, 2024. After exploring all possible options to keep the original convention dates, the LCC (Local Convention Committee) and MER Convention representative--with assurances from Marriott that the construction project will be completed--have decided the MER Piedmont Junction Convention will now be held at the Marriott, October 17-20, 2024.  

One piece of good news, Marriott realizing the major inconvenience the date change has caused, has reduced what had been a very favorable room rate of $109 per night to $79 per night. If you have already booked, we will be working with Marriott to move your reservation to the new dates.  If you need to cancel your reservation,  the process for doing so will be sent out after a meeting with Marriott next week.
