Winter Meeting – Looking for a Roommate?
Are you planning to attend Winter Meeting? Would you like to offset your hotel costs by sharing a room with another attendee? We have a few attendees who are looking to save money by sharing a hotel room at Winter Meeting. To make these connections easier, we have set-up a Google Document for participants to connect with one another. If you are looking for a roommate, go to the Roommate Request Google Doc and share your contact information or find the contact information of another attendee and you can connect!
