Homestay hosts are an option for visiting conference participants unable to cover hotel expenses. To ensure everyone’s budget can attend the conference, we are seeking hosts who live in the Berkeley area, or anywhere in the broader San Francisco Bay Area with good access to BART, and can host one or more visitors in a guest room or simply with sleeping bag space. If you are interested in being a host or staying with a host, please contact homestay coordinator Tina Thomas at, amick6@comcast.net, or 510.796.4276.
Please note that due to the urban nature of the area, there is no camping on the Berkeley Campus or the immediate surroundings.
