What meals are provided?
Your ticket price includes three dinners (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights). Both lunches are on your own (we’ll bring in food trucks for one and give recommendations for good spots in town for the other). Breakfasts are also on your own. We’ll have some snacks and very light breakfast items, but the Fairfield Inn and Suites (where we have a block of rooms) has a continental breakfast.
Are there good lodging accommodations nearby?
Yes! We have a block of rooms at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, a 7-minute drive from Northside. We have a group rate of $118/night. The group rate expires after 03/08/2024, so be sure to book your rooms before then!
Are there any ridesharing options?
Yes! Whova, the event app we’ll be using, has ridesharing features that allows you to coordinate rides with other attendees. Watch for instructions to download the app a few weeks before the Summit. There is also a shuttle between the airport and the Fairfield Inn and Suites, where we’ve reserved a block of rooms.
