==Transportation== | |||
If you are booking a flight to the conference, the closest airport is the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP). From there, it is about a 20 minute cab/Uber/Lyft ride to Genetti's Best Western. The Best Western also offers a free airport shuttle; however, you will need to call the hotel 24 hours in advance of your arrival to arrange for airport pick-up. | |||
For those driving to the conference, or flying into a different airport and renting a car, the hotel does provide free parking for guests. | |||
==Registration== | |||
Registration fees for the 2019 conference are as follows: | |||
* 2019 Individual Registration Fee: $150 | |||

* 2019 Guest Fee: $50 | |||
Each presenter, moderator, or individual attendee may bring one guest who must pay the Guest Registration Fee of $50. The guest does not have to be a member of the Norman Mailer Society. | |||
