Ways to save money at conferences:
1. Find a roommate.
2. Share rides to and from the airport.
3. See if the sponsoring organization will let you volunteer during the conference to reduce registration fees.
4. Take advantage of early registration discounts if available.
5. Look for a nearby hotel with cheaper rates.
6. Ask whether the sponsoring organization awards scholarships or stipends to offset the costs.
7. Remember to save receipts and keep track of mileage, which can be deducted at income-tax time.
