Conference rates are available at the Radisson for those attending the seminars. Please make your reservations by directly calling the Radisson Hotel reservation line at (607) 962-5000. Be sure to mention that you're part of Hot Glass Horizons. Rooms allotted for the conference are released four weeks prior to the start of the show, so be sure to make your reservations before April 2nd, 2007.
If you are traveling by air, we recommend flying into Elmira, NY. From there you can take a shuttle or cab (approximately $30) to Corning. Most of the major attractions are within ¾ mile radius from the hotel so many attendees chose not to bother with a rental car.

The hotel has an excellent restaurant, plus there are quite a few dining options within walking distance. Dinners are provided on both Thursday and Saturday evenings to those taking three full days of classes.
Please bring your basic glass tools: glass cutter, safety glasses, breaking pliers, notebook and any special tools listed in class descriptions. The grinders, saws, kilns and other equipment as well as the glass for the classes are provided. Many of the classes require a dust mask for your own protection. We will provide one dust mask at registration for you to use. You may also choose to bring one of our own. If you are arriving by air, please pack your tools in checked baggage, they may not be appropriate as carryon items. It is also recommended that you drain the oil from oil cutters; the airlines can confiscate cutters with oil inside them.
We will have tools for sale in the HGH Store if you would prefer not to travel with your own tools.
