"Personally, I'm looking for someone to share hotel (share a room) costs with at the upcoming ARMA International conference.  Others of you may also have interest in doing this to assure you can attend the conference at all.  I'd like to find someone to share room costs with so I can go and also help anyone else who might be in the same financial situation. The early registration deadline is within a few days of ending, even with the extension, so I wanted to address as quickly as possible."

Tom raises an interesting point.  I know many organizations are facing tough economic times and there is a need to justify attending a conference of any kind.  Mine is no different and I had to justify the cost of attending the ARMA conference this year in Orlando.  Sharing expenses such as rooms or rental cars is an excellent way to do that.

While I understand the convenience of having the hotel and conference all in one facility, it was hard for me to justify $229 per night for a room, regardless of the all-in-one factor.  Another option for people aside from room sharing might be to stay at a hotel a few miles from the conference facilities.  I know I am at a rate of $90 per night.  The room savings alone helped to make my case to attend.  Just a thought.

Thanks, Steve
