[Edling] how to attend a conference free ?

Wed Mar 9 22:16:25 UTC 2016

The trick to Couchsurfing is to do your research, to participate in Forums to get to know people, and to present yourself well.  I have hosted and been hosted and had a great time doing both.

Airbnb, which I have also used, is very good.  If I want to stay more than a day or two, I go with airbnb and pay.  The trick there is also to present yourself well.

 Hello,
 I dropped out of couchsurfing.  Some strange  people.  Best to pay a bit and be able to cook,  especially for longer stays.  There's chain of  residences in the U.S. called Homestead, I believe, and  America Suites.  There's also a great chain in  Australia where you can rent a funished flat.  I did it in  2010 just by googling it. Can't recall the name,
 sorry!
 There are also furnished apts for business  people.

 Two
 events with no stated registration fee: https://goo.gl/xDbw5D, http://goo.gl/c9EGLn.

 Two other conferences with relatively low fees: the 1st
 International Conference on Sociolinguistics (http://ics1.elte.hu/#REGISTRATION)
 and the Sixth Cambridge Conference on Language Endangerment
 (http://goo.gl/AJD4Vg).

 As for reducing other costs:

 If you have little or no recourse to conference funding, and
 especially if you're in a developing country, many
 conference organisers will allow access to their bursary,
 even if that's not explicitly mentioned on the website.
 It's worth asking!
