Accommodations: Extension of room rate
  • We were able to negotiate an extension for the block of rooms at the conference rate through the end of this week. After that, the hotels have said they would still honor the rate as long as they have space.
  • For students or anyone planning to stay in East Lansing very economically, Michigan State University on campus housing is available (it is the last one on the list).  However, these on campus options do fill up so you should reserve early.
  • The Cottonwood Suites option has agreed to offer childcare at $5USD per hour (with advanced notice) for those staying with them. Also, they will offer a free shuttle to the conference venue.
