Roommate Finder

Starting in January 2025, ASPB will once again offer the Roommate Finder Bulletin Board which allows attendees to connect and find potential roommates. ASPB does not assign roommates —it is up to individuals to connect, book the reservation, and pay the required fees upon check-out. Arrange directly with the hotel as to how the bill will be split among roommates.

Only registered attendees will be added to the Roommate Finder Bulletin Board. If you wish to be added after you have registered or have further questions, please submit your request by email to info@aspb.org.
