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.

Washington, D.C. on a Budget

• Tight budget? No problem. D.C. has plenty of free & budget-friendly things to do.
• Check out the local deals in D.C. during the conference dates to score reduced prices on attractions, dining, and shopping in the area.

Travel and Hotel

• Reserve your hotel room through NAFSA's online booking service. NAFSA's official housing site will open on March 1, 2019.
• Take local transportation to get from the airport to the hotels in NAFSA's block.
• Take public transportation, or walk to conference events. If you need to take a cab, share it with other attendees.

Registration

• 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, community volunteers who are not gainfully employed in the international education field, and spouses/domestic partners who do not work in international education are eligible for a reduced conference registration rate.
