We have discounted room blocks set up at The Four Points by Sheraton Bentonville! The Sheraton is just a 10 minute drive to The Ledger, our primary venu, and less than 15 minutes to Crystal Bridges, where we’ll have our opening plenary on the first night. Ubers are readily available in Bentonville. Room availability is limited, so we encourage you to book now.

While we’ve kept the registration fee at a minimum, we are sensitive to the fact that some rural communities and organizations are under-resourced in a way that makes funding an airline ticket and a hotel room tough.
