Here's what a member had to say about finding a roommate through this forum:

"As I prepared to register for the annual conference I noticed that there were several incentives and travel savings tips posted on the AADE Website. [ ] Just as I thought I was finished with my travel savings research I found a new feature called “the room share program.” After I read the description, I placed it aside and hesitated to pursue it. Perhaps this program is over the edge and too risky I thought. Later after I reviewed the total hotel expense projections I thought I would give it a shot. I must admit I was a bit nervous about my plan to share a room for four nights with a person I met online.
Now that I took advantage of the program I would like to recommend it to other members who are traveling solo and are looking for more ways to keep the travel expenses down. My roommate Dede and I think that this program was truly a brilliant idea. Not only did we keep our expenses down but also and most importantly we developed a new friendship!"

- Will the cost of the room be divided evenly among each guest?
- Who will confirm billing arrangements with the hotel?
- Who will provide a credit card upon checking in?
