Reservations at the hotel appear to be non-refundable. Anyone else running into this issue?

Hello. I called the hotel Hyatt hotel in Chicago to reserve some rooms for the PagodaFest 2022 and they indicated that nothing is on there calendar for PagodaFest for the Oct 2022 dates?  Is this event confirmed? Can you pls post some information on who we need to contact to participate?

Our great committee is meeting bi-monthly. We've got 4 active volunteers on the ground in Chicagoland who are doing a great job.  Currently building the website, and filling out the agenda with side trips, dinner venues.  Calculating the total costs excluding hotel of the event so we can price the per person ticket prices.  We should have that scoped in the next 10 days.

Most of the activities will take place on the 80 Acre campus.  We will be soliciting sponsors starting in November.  Our goals it to put everything up on a website by the first week in January.
