You could try a couple of the places in Airdrie. Super 8 and Ramada come to mind. I think there is a Quality Inn as well.

Have you tried any of the hotels in south end of Calgary or up at the airport. Lots of new hotels up there no one has hear of and are so new you might find a room.

Wow even Airdrie is booked up? There is also a best western/holiday inn here, plus a few high quality dives.

Should just crash at Tate's as he is never home any ways. He even has a fancy new garage which has lots of cool stuff inside.

Could try Strathmore, Olds

Did you try calling the conference organizer? Sometimes they can help out...

Oh, and there are sometimes seasonal residences at Unversities...maybe worth a call

Another place to try is Strathmore. It is only a slightly longer drive to downtown Calgary than Airdrie.

I know there is a Super 8 in Strathmore, stayed there for my sisters wedding. Look at Cochrane and Okotoks. High River is a longer drive yet, but not too far. Chestemere as well. Not sure what they have, but they are just on the outskirts of Calgary.

If I were home, I'd let you crash at my place.
