It's time once again for our annual hotel room share blog.

The comments section of this post is the place for you to connect with potential roommates to share costs at our conference hotel, the Sheraton Guildford. (Hotel information under "attendee info" on our left sidebar menu.)

Please note that we provide this space as a courtesy, and are not involved at all in the process. We do not monitor the connections, and in most cases do not know the people who post, so posts and connections are at your own risk. Please be diligent and be safe!

That being said, lots of new friends have been made at SiWC through splitting hotel costs. Have a room you want to share or hoping to join someone who already has one? Post away.

We suggest posting the preferred gender and sleeping habits of preferred roomies in your comments. Please don't post your phone numbers or other personal information here except an email address for contact.

Good luck!

Planning to stay in the Sheraton during SiWC this year, but wishing you had a roomie to share the cost? You've come to the right place. The comments thread on this blog post are open for your roommate hunting queries.

Early riser who doesn't want to tiptoe around a morning grump? Say so. Only want to share with someone your own gender? Post that, too. In past years, some new friends have met through our room share blog comments, and others have at least found like-minded sleepers to split the hotel bill with.

We are happy to provide this forum for you to connect with potential roommates as a courtesy, but please do your homework and ask lots of questions. We have no involvement in this process and are not responsible for the veracity of postings or the volume of your roommate's snoring.

Happy posting! 

We had a question a while back asking about the Sheraton Guildford, our conference venue. Why the concern? A picture is worth a thousand words:

Have no fear, the work is purely exteriour and will be finished before the conference! Here's the blurb from their website:

Hotel Renovations: October 22, 2007 - August 31, 2008

From October 22, 2007 through August 31, 2008, this hotel will undergo renovations to the exterior, improving sound proofing and energy efficient window systems. Construction will take place Monday through Friday between 7am and 4pm. Guest staying during these times should expect to hear construction noise. During this time the pool and whirlpool will be unavailable until July 1, 2008.
