Conference Reservations:

Our online registration form is temporarily unavailable but you can print a copy of our registration form and fax it to Terry Moore at The Timken Company.

Room Reservations:

Our recommendations for overnight visitors (due to the downton hotel costs) are the Residence Inn Columbus Southeast which is a couple miles further (8miles) from the meeting site, but is a straight shot on I-70 and I-71 and is near the restaurant that is being targeted for Thursday evening dinner. It is also a little less expensive --AAA starts at $101.

Second is the Fairfield Inn & Suites Columbus OSU that we've recommended for the OSU meetings. There is more city traffic to negotitate between it and the meeting. AAA rates start at $113.

Of course, Columbus has many fine hotels to choose from. Just select your favorite!

You are also cordially invited to attend our Thursday night dinner and social. (see below)

Thursday Night Dinner & Social

If you will be in town Thursday evening, join us for our traditional informal dinner gathering at one of the area restaurants. We will meet in the lobby of the Residence Inn (see above) at 7:00 p.m. to begin the night's adventure.
