Room reservations must be made by September 8. - DePaul has a
list of hotels which offer a special rate to DePaul visitors.
Note that some of the hotels are close to DePaul's Lincoln Park campus, but the conference is on the Loop campus (downtown).
For example, currently (August 19) Hotel Cass Holiday Inn Express has a rate of $109/night, and Red Roof Inn Downtown Chicago has a room at $99/night. Both are located about a mile from the conference site, but easily accessible by public transportation (Red Line + short walk). - There may be cheaper hotels that are farther away, for example, near O'Hare airport. Find a hotel on-line, but check whether it's reasonably accessible first.
- If you don't mind sharing a room with strangers, a nice, less expensive alternative is the nearby Hostelling International Chicago.
