NEED A ROOMMATE? WE CAN HELP!

ROOMMATE MATCHES

If you are coming to Houston from another city or state and wish to minimize hotel accommodation costs by rooming with another registrant, we can put you in touch with another registrant also interested in having a roommate. 

However, making the arrangements is between those interested.  We will only connect you with others with an interest in sharing rooms.  That is the extent of our involvement with roommate matches. 

If you are interested, please send us an e-mail stating your preference for roommates (male/female, age range, smoking/nonsmoking, other) and we'll connect you with others so you can hopefully find a match.
