Housing
Staff Conference is returning to Rosen Centre!
When you go to register, choose the housing option that works best for you.
- I have a roommate: Select this option if you know which staff/participant you would like to room with. One person in a pair will be responsible for making the housing reservation. You will receive an email with reservation instructions after registration closes.
- Roommate matching: Select this option if you would like the Staff Conference team to assign you a roommate. We will make the hotel reservation for both of you.
- Single room: Single rooms are limited! Select this option if you would like a room to yourself, or if someone staying in your room is NOT attending the conference. You will be charged an additional cost of $272.20 to have a single room. The Staff Conference team will make the reservation for you.
- Pre-arranged housing: Select this option if you have been informed by the Staff Conference team that your housing has already been arranged (conference staff, speakers/worship team, suite guests, etc.). We will make your reservation for you.
- No housing needed: Select this option if you are staying locally and do not need hotel accommodations.
For those who are booking their own room, reservation for housing is open on Friday, October 16. Check your email for information then!
