Room sharing!!

If you would prefer to share a room with someone but don’t have a roommate, please let us know, we will keep a list of attendees and when possible put them in contact with others who are interested in sharing rooms.

The best idea is to reserve your room as soon as you register! Please don’t wait until the last minute as the rooms will go fast! Remember that the rates will increase if you make a reservation after the deadline.

Crash Pads!

Due to limited space we will NOT be offering crash pads this year.

If you are presenting and coming from out of town and need a place to stay because it is financially impossible for you to stay at a hotel, then you may stay with one of our students. Space is VERY limited and reserved on a first come, first served basis. To request a "crash pad", please confirm your participation and send an email to tucsps@temple.edu subject: crash pad!.
