Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re in any kind of formal education program (including Discover Praxis, post-graduate programs, or hands-on training programs), then yes.
No. Each individual is responsible for getting him- or herself from the airport to the hotel. However, we will send out an email shortly before the conference with information about the public transportation in the area. Further, if you wish to share an Uber/Lyft with another attendee, you can use the Facebook group or WhatsApp group to see who will be arriving around the same time.
You should arrive at the hotel between 2–6 pm on July 16 to get checked in with us and settled into your hotel room before the opening banquet (which is at 6:30 pm and is included for scholarship recipients). Hotel check-in begins at 4 pm, but they may have rooms available earlier. They also have luggage storage if you arrive earlier and want to explore the area. If it is absolutely impossible to arrive before 6 pm, or if you were scheduled to but there is a delay, don’t worry; simply drop by our check-in desk the next morning before talks begin to check in and pick up your name tag and swag.
The Orlando International Airport (MCO) is by far the closest.
