Our venue is in Center City Philadelphia (in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood) and nearby hotels can be pricey. 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.

Food[edit]

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).

What to bring[edit]

Wear comfortable, casual clothing. Bring proof of a negative covid test, a mask, and additional covid tests if you wish. Bring something to take notes. The venue has wifi. Bring any swag that you want to share with other attendees - eg zines, union buttons, fun stuff from your library.

Transit and parking[edit]

Public transit: The 22nd and Market Trolley Station provides access to the 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36 trolleys, all of which connect to the two subway lines (the MFL or "el" and the BSL). The trolleys are not wheelchair accessible. There are numerous buses that are wheelchair accessible and also connect to the subway lines and other bus routes.

Parking: There are numerous parking lots and garages near the venue. The venue recommends Patriot Parking at 21st and Sansom (it's a garage) which has Saturday rates at 12 hours for $17. Street parking will be harder to find in the area and probably has a two hour limit.
