2024 Conference Registration Rates
Not sure if your agency is a THN member? Check our current supporters’ page to confirm your membership status. If you qualify, check with your agency admin for discount information. If they or you need assistance, please email us at conference@thn.org.
Please read these important notes before registering:
- Confirm your membership status and apply a discount code if you qualify prior to registering. We will not be able to apply discounts retroactively.
- If you are registering and must pay by check, please request an invoice here.
- Conference registration does not include hotel or travel costs.
- We’re pleased to announce that CoC Program recipients may spend HUD CoC Program funds on attendance to the 2024 Texas Conference on Ending Homelessness. This allowance is result of HUD guidance that states it is permissible for CoC Program recipients to spend CoC Program funds on attendance as long as the conference includes a speaker from HUD or a TA speaker assigned by HUD.
* The Texas Conference on Ending Homelessness includes a one-day HUD CoC program training on September 10. The intended training audience includes recipient and sub-recipient agencies of TX-607, Balance of State, for which Texas Homeless Network is the collaborative applicant.
- The training content is applicable to other Texas CoC recipients, sub-recipients, and collaborative applicants, and they are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you on September 10.
- Please plan your hotel and transportation arrangements accordingly if you intend to attend the September 10 training. If you are a current HUD collaborative applicant, CoC recipient, or sub-recipient and would like to request attendance, please submit your application form here.
Conference Lodging Information
Both conference registration and our host hotel room block sell out every year, and this year is no different.
Our Tuesday night room block at the Austin DoubleTree (our host hotel) is now sold out, but you can still book there for Wednesday and Thursday nights at the group rate.
What’s a host hotel?
It’s the hotel where all of the conference action happens — sessions, meals, plenaries, networking, and more. Staying at the host hotel means you’re just an elevator ride away from everything, making it easy to connect, recharge, and fully participate.
Need a room Tuesday-Friday?
We’ve reserved a small number of rooms (just 30!) at the Drury Inn & Suites Austin North, which is just 0.4 miles away from the DoubleTree. This is a great option if you’re:
-
-
-
- Attending Tuesday morning meetings
- Joining pre-conference events and activities
- Or arriving early to settle in and enjoy Austin
-
-
These rooms are available Tuesday through Friday, but will go quickly, so we recommend booking soon.
Are you booking for Wednesday-Friday?
Still arriving on Wednesday? You can absolutely still book at the Austin DoubleTree, our host hotel, for Wednesday and Thursday nights. The Opening Plenary doesn’t begin until 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, so there’s plenty of time to check in, grab a coffee, and ease into the day. Staying at the host hotel means you’ll be right where all the action happens, from sessions and meals to spontaneous hallway conversations and early morning activities.

Stay Until the End to Win – Final Session Incentives
This year we’re adding new perks for folks who stay through the final breakout session (ends at 12:00 PM on September 18):
🎟 In-person raffles in select rooms — prizes include a free 2026 conference registration, swag, gift cards, and more.
🌟 Attendees who stay until the end will be entered into an exclusive group that receives early access to register for 2026
It’s our way of saying thank you for closing out the conference with us.
👉 Plan your lodging and travel so you can stay for the full experience.
Did you miss our room block at the host hotel?
- Book at the Houston Omni Galleria Beyond Per Diem Rate: You could choose to book a room at the host hotel at the standard rate. In this case, it might be worth exploring with your finance department whether you can charge the grant up to the per diem rate and then cover the difference through other means within your organization.
- Find Alternative Accommodations: Another option is to look for nearby hotels that may offer rooms at or below the per diem rate. You can use this link from hotels.com to search based on the per diem rate of $122 and the distance to the Houston Omni Galleria, or utilize the lodging booking platform of your choice to look for nearby options.
