Please join us at WE18 October 18-20, 2018 in Minneapolis, MN! Check out our WE17 recap post with highlights of what going to a SWE conference is like. If you’ve never been to a SWE conference, you haven’t fully experienced all SWE has to offer!
Registration for WE18 opened this week and there are some important changes to the process. In an effort to limit large quantity room-blocking, which takes rooms off the “market” for months leading up to the conference and cancellations that SWE has to cover late in the game, this year’s housing reservation requires registration at the time of booking. Pay special attention to cancellation policies and deadlines!
On the topic of cost, there are travel grants available and volunteering for 4 hours will get you 25% off your registration cost (down from 50% in past years). There are also discounts for unemployed or career-fair only registrations. Check out those options on the WE18 website. Additionally, we offer our members the opportunity to participate in room-sharing to reduce housing cost! Please fill out our WE18 travel coordination survey if you’re interested in being connected to roommates. If you know for sure you’re going, we would encourage you to go ahead and book a hotel room and let us know when your cancellation deadline is so we can try to make those connections early on.
Please email us at dallas.swe@gmail.com if you have questions about the conference or travel coordination! We hope to see you at WE18!
