Rates for Conferences & Retreats
These rates apply to any expenses that are not paid on a UW budget, regardless of a group’s UW affiliation. They are higher than budget rates because the University of Washington adds institutional overhead.
ALL CHARGES ARE SUBJECT TO SALES TAX (8.5%)
Conference Fee (per participant)
Each conference participant will be charged a nightly conference fee in addition to housing and dining charges. Accompanying family members are exempt.
