What is the Host & Connect Program?
The Students Host & Connect program pairs local Boston-area student attendees with visiting student attendees so they can offer housing during ACH26, making the conference more affordable and accessible. It’s a curated, safety-focused matching process that fosters cultural exchange, meaningful connections, and a stronger global Arab student network.
For hosts, the program is an opportunity to welcome a visiting student into their home, build meaningful connections, and receive discounted ACH26 tickets, with hosting interest indicated during the ticket purchase process. For guests, it offers a safe, curated place to stay in Boston that lowers travel costs, as requested when buying a ticket, while helping them build personal and professional connections within the global Arab student community.
