All pricing above is for conference registration only and does not include housing/hotel costs.

COMMON's pricing policy is structured to encourage attendees to stay in our official conference hotels by offering a lower registration to those who do. Attendees who book their reservation through COMMON's Housing Bureau ultimately help COMMON meet its hotel contractual obligations for the conference. For complete details, read the registration and hotel pricing explanation and the accompanying Frequently Asked Questions.

Because your registration rate is determined by your hotel selection, it is necessary to reserve your hotel room at the same time you register for the conference. Below is a suggested sequence for attendees to follow when planning to attend the conference.

Steps to Follow

Plan your travel dates - all-day pre-conference workshops will be offered on Sunday, March 30. The conference starts at noon on Sunday, March 30 and ends with the gala iSocial Main Event on the evening of Thursday, April 3.
Shop for discount airfares.
Use the COMMON Housing Bureau to book your hotel room.
You will receive a housing confirmation email that contains your Housing Acknowledgment Code. Keep this code handy when you register for the conference online.
Register for the conference online (or using the PDF of the Conference Registration Form). Insert your Housing Acknowledgement Code when prompted. Note that you'll save $200 if you register by March 6, 2008.

* Current pricing for the 2008 Annual Meeting and Exposition subject to change without notice.

** Group registration - 7 or more individuals from the same company registering at the same time; per person. NOTE: Online registration not available for group registrations; these must be done by mail or fax.
