Are there any other places to stay?

The Burn After Meeting organization
Is Burn After Meeting run by Burning Man, or affiliated with it?
No. Burning Man has provided advice and non-monetary support, but it is being run by a completely independent entity, Burn After Meeting Ltd.
Is Burn After Meeting a for-profit entity?
Legally, yes. It is a limited-liability company, not a non-profit. But it is not being run on a profit-making basis. Once costs have been covered and seed money set aside for next year, any profits will be donated to regional-burn art granting organizations.
Who is behind Burn After Meeting?
Burn After Meeting Ltd is a one-person LLC owned by Adam Rice, a former member of the board of directors for Burning Flipside, a Texas regional burn. The organizing committee includes some other people involved in regional burns.
