Gail Culver mention via email that her Master Gardener Volunteers participating in this conference but not wanting to try the dorms are staying at the Best Western in East Hill Plaza. They have a shuttle bus to campus. They got the rate of $84 for a double room for 1 night.
Conference organizers can’t help you with these off campus arrangements you have to pursue them on your own.
