Lodging
Note that the conference will run for three full days. We suggest booking lodging for four nights (June 1-5, 2026).
We encourage room sharing. If you are looking for a roommate, we have created a google form to assist in finding a roommate.
Meeting Hotels
All three of our allocated hotel room blocks are now FULL. You can still attempt to reserve rooms directly through the three hotel websites (but no longer at our negotiated conference rate), or check alternative accommodations through Airbnb and other local hotels such as the Inn at Virginia Tech, the Main Street Inn, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, the Comfort Inn, and the Hilton Garden Inn. Please be aware that these hotels are at variable distances from the University.
We still hope to offer a limited number of dormitory rooms, but these require that you bring your own pillow, linens, and towel. We continue to await this allocation of dorm rooms but are hopeful that details will be announced in early May.

Note that the conference organizers plan to request dorm rooms as additional housing options on April 1 (the earliest that such requests can be made at Virginia Tech). However, there is no guarantee that dorm rooms will be available for the requested dates, so we suggest that those who plan on attending EEID 2026 go ahead and book hotel rooms and pursue room sharing options as needed.
