If you would like assistance finding a hotel roommate for the conference, please fill in your information on the Roommate Finder Spreadsheet
We provide the spreadsheet as a way for people to find each other, but we do not help match people. Please monitor the spreadsheet yourself and remove your name once you are no longer in need of a roommate.
The conference is located in downtown San Diego, less than a mile from the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, and Embarcadero/Marina which are full of things to do. The linked map shows a selection of restaurants, sightseeing locations, and places to exercise (the waterfront is a popular run), but there are so many more!
If you want to go a little further, Old Town San Diego is accessible via 10 minute ride on the San Diego Trolley Green Line ($2.50/ride) from the Santa Fe Depot (0.3 miles from hotel).
Also: the Show Your Badge! program offers discounts when you show your CRUME badge at certain businesses (participating vendors change frequently).
The conference registration includes: Friday breakfast and lunch; Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; coffee breaks with small bites (details below).
Note the change: We are unable to include Thursday dinner due to inflation. The meal cost in CA is $446/person ($335 + tax + service charge; in VA it was roughly $310/person and tax was waived).
As in previous years, some group reservations will be made for Friday night and sign-up sheets will be available at the registration table!
