Competitive Events & Test-taking Tips

General Rules and Tips There will be no competitive event additions or substitutions on-site. Only the final performance rounds are open to conference attendees. Read and follow the FBLA-PBL Dress Code. Dont take the chance of being disqualified or having points deducted because of improper attire. If you have a question whether your attire is proper, it probably isnt. Make sure you know where the room is located for the event. Remember, elevators may be slow, so allow ample time. Get plenty of rest the night before your competition. Additional questions? E-mail education@[Link] VIDEOS

// HOTEL INFORMATION
Hotel Reservation Instructions
Before the Conference The deadline for receiving hotel reservation forms is May 27. Reservations received after this date will be made on a space-available basis. Advance reservations on the official hotel reservation form will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations with credit card deposits may be faxed to your assigned hotel. Reservations will not be accepted by phone. Go to our Web site [Link]/2011NLC and go to the state housing assignments for the conference hotels. If you are sending a hotel reservation form with students from different schools sharing a room, please write the name of the school for each student. One adviser should be listed on the form as the person responsible for the room. Be certain that only one adviser submits a reservation. The hotel is not authorized to mix delegations to fill a double, triple, or quad accommodation. Reservations will be made only for occupants listed together on the same hotel reservation form. A deposit of one nights lodging for each room reserved must accompany the hotel reservation form. If your state has already guaranteed its rooming block, this requirement may have been met. Contact your state adviser for details. Acceptable forms of payment are American Express, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa credit cards; or you may pay with a school check. Purchase orders will be accepted. All deposit checks must be made payable to your assigned hotel and mailed to the address of your assigned hotel. Your reservation acknowledgement will come from your assigned hotel. Allow two weeks for this acknowledgement. For a quicker response, include your fax number and e-mail address on the hotel reservation form. The balance due for room rates and taxes must be paid at the time you check in to the hotel. Deposit Refund Policy Full refunds will be given if the hotel is notified 72 hours prior to arrival. No refunds for cancellations will be issued less than 72 hours prior to arrival. When You Arrive Hotel check-in time is after 3:00 p.m. Plan your arrival after that time. If you arrive earlier than the check-in time, the hotel will make every effort to assign as many rooms as possible. Make arrangements to tour the area until your room is available if you know you will be arriving early. A luggage storage area will be provided at the hotel for groups arriving prior to the check-in time. To minimize confusion in the hotel lobby, one PBL representative or FBLA adviser must register the entire delegation. Clearly indicate the name of the person handling the groups billing on the rooming list. To charge incidentals to your guestroom, such as room service, restaurant, or outside phone line access, you must present a major credit card and drivers license upon check-in. The assigned delegate or adviser secures room assignments and keys for the entire delegation. The hotel has been advised of the importance of placing the FBLA adviser and chaperone rooms next to the rooms of the students for whom they are responsible. They will make every effort to do so, but room availability is largely dependent upon the checkout time of those departing on the day of your arrival. Hotel checkout time is Noon at the Hilton Orlando. Hotel checkout time is 11:00 a.m. at the Rosen Centre and Rosen Plaza. One adviser or representative must check out, turn in keys, and pay room bills for the entire delegation. The hotel will provide one bill for each room occupied. Verify your departure date on arrival. Early departure may result in a penalty fee.

Tips for a Smoother Hotel Check-In

Fax or mail changes to your assigned hotel. Do not wait until check-in to change reservations. If you must make a change in your reservation, call the hotel directly; and be sure to document the name of the person you spoke with and the date and time of the conversation. Bring copies of your original reservation form with any changes that were called or faxed to your assigned hotel. Be sure your schools accounting department sends separate checks for hotel reservations and conference registration to the appropriate address on each form. The payments must not be combined in one check. Although you only need to send a deposit, paying the full amount in advance will speed your check-in time. If you are mailing your balance due, make sure the check clearly indicates to which school/reservation the amount should be applied. To be absolutely clear, send another copy of your reservation form marking that it is a duplicate with the balance payment. Be as accurate as possible when completing the line on the reservation form that asks your delegations arrival and departure time. The hotel uses this information to staff the front desk with enough agents at heaviest arrival times. If you have not received a hotel confirmation prior to leaving for the conference, call the hotel and verify your reservation. Be sure to document your conversation.
