Lodging
In order to ensure an interactive meeting, we strongly suggest that participants stay at the meeting site. Those wishing to stay off-campus are welcome to arrange their own hotel reservations. Participants staying off-site are also responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the conference venue each day. San Francisco has one of the highest living rates in the country, and as such accommodations are often expensive or scarce, so please keep this in mind.
Attendees who stay on-campus will be in either a single or a shared dormitory room, chosen during your application. Dorm rooms come equipped with standard amenities, and some will share an in-apartment bathroom with other attendees. Shared rooms are an additional $225, while single rooms are $400. We will match attendees in shared rooms with a requested roommate if possible.
[update: All rooms are booked- 7/17/19]
