Why Stay at the Host Hotel: Receive discounted hotel rates (as much as 50% discount over rack rates) Be where the action is Experience the convenience of picking up your registration materials on-site By booking your room in our host hotel, it enables us to book future conference hotels. Many cities look at the overall revenue a group brings to an assigned exhibit space based on the number of hotel rooms used. When attendees book at alternate hotels, we have no way of tracking this information and we cannot accurately record the actual volume of business generated by our conference. As a result, we may not be able to obtain the required space for future conferences, and we will be charged attrition fees for not using hotel rooms that have been blocked. Please support us by booking at the Sheraton Hotel.

Local residents willing to host a guest are especially needed! Try out our new SpaceShare green travel system, and look for connections. Fill every seat of every car!

Designing a Green Conference Just as a building designed with the planet in mind turns out to be a better place to live or work, an environmentally conscious conference is a better venue to network and strengthen community. However you travel, green networking helps you travel using the least resources, while making connections with the other Greening Rooftops enthusiasts in your own neighborhood. Carpool, sit next to your neighbor on the train, share a ride to the airport and fly together, share a room. We hope everyone will try our SpaceShare green networking system, and come to the festival with people from your own hometown. Your journey is part of the Conference! Connecting with the people from your neighborhood or home city, you can discuss the festival on your way home.
