Home-Stays

We are happy to announce that we will once again be helping to arrange free home-stays for eligible conference participants. This program was quite a success last year, and we are extremely thankful to all home-stay who opened their homes and hearts to deserving conference participants last year. We greatly appreciate the generosity of all home-stay hosts.

This year we are very pleased to be working with SpaceShare - a San Francisco based, non-profit organization which specializes in connecting people so that they can share resources. SpaceShare has created a customized home-stay, hotel-share, and rideboard program specifically for SR2004 participants.
