The Countdown Has Begun!
Now that the 2015 Deaf Seniors of America conference that was held in North Carolina has concluded, planning is well under way for the 2017 DSA conference. This conference, which is set to take place in sunny Houston, TX, presently has close to 400 participants registered, with numbers steadily growing.
Online hotel reservations are now being accepted at the conference hotel, Westin Galleria, as the conference headquarters. Overflow hotel reservations can be made at Westin Oaks Houston at the Galleria. Hotel reservation requests can be found in our website. Reservations via phone, for both hotels at 888-627-8514, are also being accepted but be sure to mention you are with the DSA 2017 Houston Conference to receive the conference rate.
