To save money, you probably want to make use of the Conference Wiki to arrange shared rooms.
The cheaper option is Doubletree Hotel, Richardson, with $89 per Double or King room; the rooms can be booked from May 18th through May 23.
The slightly more expensive option is Hyatt Regency Hotel, Richardson, with $99 per King room; the rooms can be booked from May 18th through May 23. NOTE that the rate for May 18th is $119.
1. Both hotels are going to be full during the time of our conference, and we were able to get only some rooms blocked for May 18th. If you have some wiggle room in your travel plans, please consider booking from the 19th. The conference will start at noon.
2. If you know that you will not be sharing room with anyone, please consider booking King room. We do have quite a few graduate and postgraduate students as participating in our conference, who may wish to share room.
For those who would like to share a room, please use the Conference Wiki.
