Home Hospitality

A number of local Unitarians are eager to host individuals or families during the conference.

  • Just check the appropriate box on the registration form. A member of our Home Hospitality Committee will contact you to determine your needs and match you with an appropriate host family.
  • In exchange, we do ask that you make a good-will donation in an amount that fits your budget. Your donation, if by check, should be made out to First Unitarian Church (Des Moines) with memo home hospitality. The church will use these funds first to support registration costs for local volunteers who cannot afford the conference fees. If additional funds remain, we will apply them to conference expenses.
  • Please give this donation to your host before leaving Des Moines.
  • Home hospitality requests will not be accepted after March 18.

Room Sharing

To find other conference attendees interested in sharing a hotel room, simply fill out the "Hotel room sharing" field on your registration form.  You can also check the Room Sharing list before you register.  We will contact you as the conference date approaches to help you find a roommate.
