<H2>Travel and Accomodations</H2>
<P>Conference organizers are also parents of internationally-abducted children. We know that this fight takes a toll on your finances and that every dollar counts. We work hard to seek sponsorship to keep conference registration costs low and to maximize your conference experience.  </P>
<P>In the past few years, we've found that<STRONG> AirBNB</STRONG> is an economical way to minimize your travel and accomodations costs.  More importantly, we found this shared expense leads to shared empathy and new friendships with people who know EXACTLY what you're going through. </P>
<P>When you purchase your conference tickets on Eventbrite, you will receive an email from iStand to complete your registration, including:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Request to share an AirBNB in Washington</LI>
<LI>Confirmation of your luncheon preferences</LI>
<LI>Information on participating in the Embassy Walk </LI>
<LI>Requests for any special accomodations </LI>
