At any point: If you can’t travel to the conference, tell us and your host, so that we can match them with another person who is looking for a place to stay.
Explanation matching process
We try to match as many people as possible. Since we are dependent on how many people can offer a place to stay for the duration of the conference, we follow a certain priority list after which we match.
We will prioritize the guest inquiries as explained in the diagram:
The inquiries will be ordered by the categories with priorities from top to bottom. So, people under 27, part of a marginalized group, Global South, Below 21 who already have an accreditation will be matched at first. Afterwards all people in the same categories but not accredited, afterwards the one from Global South and above 21 (but under 27) who are accredited, and so on.
Since there are more rounds of matching, there is a possibility for you to get a place shortly before the start of the conference. Please note that we have an age limit of 30 years!
