Things to know before your arrival
Venue

First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia - Parish Room. 2125 Chestnut Street. The space is fully accessible, and very close to transit, parking lots, food, accommodations, and more.

Accommodations

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

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 (either coffee/bagels, snacks, lunch, or some combination of the three. Check back on the wiki for updates).

What to bring

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.
