What does my ticket include?

Your ticket grants you full access to all the social activities, mainstage speaker presentations, workshops, and breakout sessions for 3 full days as well as entry into all evening activities. You will also have an opportunity to participate in additional meetups and activities, some of which come at a nominal additional cost (for example, the Fowling activity on Friday is an additional ~$14 paid directly to the venue upon entry).

Transportation, accommodations, parking, food, and booze are not included. However, we will make sure you’re caffeinated in the morning 🙂

The full event schedule can be viewed here, and will be updated as more details are available. Registered attendees will receive a more detailed schedule with specific room numbers, breakout sessions options, etc the week of the event.

How can I reserve a hotel room (accommodation options)?

THE DISCOUNT HOTEL BLOCK IS SOLD OUT, but they are still accepting reservations outside of the block. We typically take up 90% of the rooms in this hotel, so if you have your heart set on staying here, book a non-block room before the hotel sells out completely.

Where is the Tangeman University Center and how do I get there?

Get directions to Tangeman

What about parking?

Park in the Woodside Garage. Parking is $10 on Friday and $5 on Saturday and Sunday, but if you leave an come back on the same day, you’d need to pay again. There will be decals on the sidewalks to help you navigate from Woodside garage to the event venue. And check out this map for walking directions.

Is a virtual option available?

We are not offering a virtual paid option because EconoMe really needs to be experienced in person in order for attendees to get ample value out of the cost of the ticket. However, all the speeches will be professionally recorded and available on the EconoMe Conference YouTube channel for FREE. You can go there now, subscribe, and check out the speeches from previous events.

What if I need ADA Accommodations?

The EconoMe Conference strives to plan events that are inclusive and accessible to enable everyone, including individuals with disabilities, to engage in and experience the event as fully as possible. Consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) we will provide reasonable accommodation when requested. To request an accommodation or ask us questions about accessibility, please contact diania@economeconference.com no later than thirty (30) days before the event date.

Can I bring my kids or is child care available?

EconoMe is an adult centered event that is inappropriate for children, especially young children. Much of our content is provocative, and the speakers may use fowl language on stage. We do not recommend bringing children and no child care is offered. If you determine your teenager is mature enough to handle it, we leave to your discretion but they need to be a registered attendee.

What’s on the menu (food options)?

In an effort to keep the ticket price as accessible as possible, we will not be offering food at EconoMe. We encourage you to bring your lunch, snacks, and a water bottle (there are bottle filling stations to help you stay hydrated!)

We will have coffee for you in the morning to ensure that you’re PUMPED UP for our amazing speakers.

There is a food court in the Tangeman University Center and you can check out the other food options that are within walking distance here.
