The closest and least expensive hotel that we have seen so far is Motto by Hilton (31 S 19th Street, 5 minute walk to the venue, around $240/night). Airbnbs in the neighborhood are more affordable at $100-$200/night. Neighborhoods further afield may have less expensive accommodations, and the venue is closest to the 22nd Street Trolley Station (serving trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36).
 +

We will also be asking local attendees if they can host participants coming in from out of town; we have asked attendees to indicate on their RSVP form if they will need accommodation. Please reach out to Alison or Chinyere with any accommodation questions or needs.

Our venue is situated in a neighborhood with numerous food options, including lots of great vegan food. We will also be offering food at the venue (coffee, pastries, snacks).
