Moving from The Evergreen State College to Knoxville has necessitated some changes to the structure of the conference:
Lodging will be located in downtown Knoxville at the Marriott, Hilton and Tennessean hotels. A grab-and-go breakfast will also be provided by the conference Monday through Thursday.
Shuttle buses will be provided at the start and end of each day of the conference to transport attendees from the hotels to the conference venue and back (the distance is ~1.6 mi/2.6 km). Lunches will be provided Sunday through Thursday at the UT Gardens (weather permitting) – which is a short walk (~0.3 mi/0.5 km) from the main conference venue.
Dinners, aside from the Wednesday gala, are not included in the conference package.
The hotels are located in the heart of downtown Knoxville, offering walking-distance access to a wide range of dining options in both downtown itself and the Old City.
The cutoff for hotel booking is July 19th!
If you are experiencing issues with the hotel websites, call the hotel via telephone to secure your room. Tell them you are booking a room for the Phage Meeting to get the meeting block pricing.
