January is always a particularly busy tourist season in Hawaii.
We suggest you make your travel plans as soon as possible.
You must make your own hotel reservations directly with the Outrigger Wailea Resort, site of the conference, in order to receive the HICSS Conference rates for the nights of Dec. 30, 2000 - Jan 9, 2001. Conference rates are guaranteed until November 15.
This is the "new" Outrigger Wailea -- complete with a $25 million renovation! There's a new open-to-the-sea porte cochere, new lobby and registration area, and a 32,000 sq. ft. garden in the Mei Court to greet you, as well as a new 4,200 sq. ft. health and fitness center, an activity pool with two water slides, recreation area and sunning deck, and completely refurbished guest rooms, featuring data ports, Internet access, and voice mail in every room.
The Outrigger Wailea is an 18-acre luxury resort located on Maui's south shore, near superb golf courses and the world-renowned Ulua Beach. Spectacular offshore views from the hotel include unique Hawaiian sunrises and sunsets, frolicking whales, the horseshoe island of Molokini, the barren, haunting landscape of Kaho'olawe, and the magnificent 10,000 foot slopes of Haleakala. Known as the Valley Isle, all of Maui is ideal for biking, hiking, driving adventures, wondrous snorkeling, sailing, and diving opportunities.
