Coventry and Leamington Spa are the nearest rail stations; you can reach the Warwick campus by the #12 bus from either station, or by the Uni bus from Leamington.

The following link steers you to some listings for accommodation.The Welcome to Kenilworth link might be most helpful, since the conference dinner will be in Kenilworth. The Visitors Guide link is more scattershot, giving listings all around the area, but you might look for places near the Coventry rail station, if that's how you're traveling.
