Yes, you are correct, they just posted the class information this week. I should have been more clear with my comment.

I have found that when I make hotel reservations at a hotel within walking distance of the convention center, I need to make them nearly a year in advance in order to secure a room. The classes are offered before the show begins, so if you want to take classes and see the show, you have to go for an extended amount of time. Well, if they don't post the classes until June, but I have to make hotel reservations in December, how do I know how many days I want to stay? If they don't offer any classes I want to take, then my 3 or 4 extra days at a hotel are wasted time and money.

However, having said that, the years I decided to go ahead and make hotel reservations for the dates the classes were offered, I was always able to find something I was interested in.

Hopefully the new Marriott that's attached to the convention center will make it easier to find hotel rooms later in the season.
