Budget-friendly Conference Tips


The NAFSA Annual Conference is a must for everyone in the international education field. Follow these tips to make the conference as affordable as possible.

Travel and Hotel

  • Reserve your hotel room through NAFSA's online booking service. 
  • Take local transportation to get from the airport to the hotels in NAFSA's block.
  • In Houston, ride NAFSA's complimentary shuttle buses, take public transportation, or walk to conference events. If you need to take a cab, share it with other NAFSAns.

Registration

  • If you choose to become a NAFSA member on your registration form, you'll receive the member registration rate—a significant savings!
  • Volunteer at the conference! Depending on the number of hours you work, you can receive partial or even full reimbursement of your conference registration fee!
  • Are you a full-time student? Students can register for the conference at a significantly discounted rate. Just include a copy of your current student ID with your registration package.
  • Retirees from the field (who are current members), volunteers (who are not gainfully employed) in the international education field, and spouses/life partners who do not work in international education are eligible for a reduced conference registration rate.
