The formal BMCC is skipping a year, so this is a mini BMCC. There is no fee. We will collect cost to cover lunch costs when you get to the conference. We will need to make our own arrangements for lodging. The International Hostel and the William Penn House are centrally located and inexpensive hostels. Travelocity, Priceline and Cheaphotels have more information on places to stay near George Washington University.
