We are not coordinating lodging, but here are some suggestions.

Booking tips:

New York City lodging is very expensive. You are not likely to find a normal hotel room on Manhattan for 1 person for less than $1,000 total for the 5-7 nights around the conference.

We have found kayak.com to be comprehensive and thorough; we recommend using the filters on the left side of the page to restrict the price range, the property type (hotels vs hostels), the star rating, and/or the review score ("okay" is usually only barely ok). Another good source or ratings and reviews is tripadvisor.com.

Inexpensive Manhattan hotels often have bathrooms in the hallway, shared with other rooms; and many hotel search engines now list beds in dormitories along with normal hotel rooms, even in 3-star and 4-star hotels. Check what you're getting and avoid unpleasant surprises.

When you book, check if the refundable rate is reasonable: prices go up and down a lot, so you could find a better deal later. If you do book at a refundable rate, check for better options several times within 14, 7, 2, 1 days before the arrival.

IF WE'VE OFFERED TO PAY FOR YOUR LODGING, FOLLOW EMAILED INSTRUCTIONS!

Other options:

Further: many parts of Queens and Brooklyn are safe and pleasant and easily accessible by subway, and much less expensive.

Share: a normal hotel room on Manhattan for 2 people for less than $2,000 total is very likely.

Airbnb.com: rent a room or a small apartment for half the price of a hotel. In our experience, places with 10 or more good reviews are quite pleasant.

Combine all of these, and you can be comfortable for well under $350/person in, for example, a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn for $700 total.
