Housing and Transportation for the conference

We will match conference attendees with Boston college students to stay overnight on Saturday (and Friday if needed). There is limited capacity for students we can host, so please only fill out this form (Official Housing Request) if you cannot otherwise find housing accommodations. Here is a search of hotels near the Harvard Science and Engineering Complex. If you do stay with a host, your host will help you get to the SEC on Saturday and Sunday morning via walking, Harvard Shuttles, or Boston public transportation! The request form will close on 1/28/23 and you will receive your housing buddy by 2/4/23. If you have any questions, please email wecodelogistics@gmail.com.
