Our team of convergence organizers are working hard to offer complimentary housing for out of town guests with our network of hosts. We encourage you to stay with friends at UMD or in the DC area, but if you are unable to do so, let us know by filling out this form and we will find you housing!

For those interested staying in a hotel, we have secured a block of rooms at a discounted rate at two local hotels. When reserving your room, make sure you mention the name below the hotel name so that you can get the special rate.
