Work with a hotel close to your venue to get a discount for your speakers. Call and ask for the manager or event coordinator. Tell them you’re looking to book a block of rooms for your speakers, and you’d like to setup a courtesy block at the same rate for your out-of-town guests.

When budgeting for hotel rooms, don’t forget about taxes and additional fees when making your budget. Taxes and fees can increase room costs by at least $25 per person per day.

If the host hotel is $100+, don’t be afraid to suggest cheaper alternatives to out-of-town attendees if they’re looking to save some money.
