• a $50 stipend for attendance to ICT educators whose community college is within 50 miles of San Francisco,

• reimbursement of up to $500 of reasonable** transportation and hotel costs to ICT educators within the MPICT region whose community college is more than 100 miles from San Francisco.

On a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted, the National ICT Center will reimburse reasonable** transportation and hotel costs up to $500 to ICT educators whose community college is outside the MPICT region.

HOTEL:

Because there are so many choices of hotels near the Conference, because the event is short, and because people’s preferences for hotels vary widely, if you are staying overnight in San Francisco, please select your own hotel. For your convenience, follow this link to a list of nearby hotels.
