It&#8217;s called IFCON or International Friendship Conference 2016. (www.ifcon2016.org) We&#8217;re counting down the weeks by communicating to guests via eblast, but we&#8217;ll also be updating our this website, the IFCON 2016 website and our Facebook pages.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the news is that the hotel block at the Doubletree is sold out. We&#8217;re working to get more rooms at our rate of $155\/night but we&#8217;re still calculating and communicating back and forth with the hotel. We&#8217;ll let you all know shortly. In the meantime, about four people are looking for roommates. Email us at chicago@ifcon2016.org or call our hotline: (312) 409-1573 if you&#8217;re interested. Along those lines, Greg L. is wanting to sell two registrations at $200 each (that&#8217;s a steal as registration now has gone up to $275). Again, if you&#8217;re interested, let us know.<\/p>\n<p>Also check out the a la carte events on the website, including the opening reception, a boat tour with dinner and dancing and the Sunday night gala. (www.ifcon2016.org) You can pay per event.<\/p>\n<p>See you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well Asians &amp; Friends Chicago, like it or not, we&#8217;ve got a bunch of other<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3283"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3286,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3283\/revisions\/3286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
