HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

We've successfully organized 17 events like this one, and we typically release the hotel information 21 days prior to the event. This time around, securing a venue proved a bit more challenging, as confirmations from venues have been unusually delayed. 
We understand many of you are eager to book your accommodations, and we want to assure you that we're committed to choosing the best location, considering we'll be moving around the city.

Regarding hotel bookings, since 55% of our participants are Houston-based and don't need hotel accommodations, it's been challenging to secure hotel blocks. Hotels generally require a minimum of 15 bookings to offer group rates, so unfortunately, we don't have room blocks for this event. 
Therefore, we advise you to book your accommodations as early as possible.

We have selected our 'homestead' hotel at the 'Memorial' Area of Houston, known for its central location relative to the various venues we'll be visiting. 

We're pleased to announce the hotel we've selected for our event. It's a straightforward, no-frills 2.5-star hotel that offers excellent value. You'll enjoy complimentary amenities like parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. Considering the limited time you'll be spending in the hotel, this option provides cleanliness and a perfect location for our needs.

We'll have a brief training session on how to use the app before the event, but consider it our communication hub. It’s crucial for you to have it on your phone to stay in the loop.

❗Note: If you're NOT attending our Houston event, please AVOID joining this app.

We certainly don't want you to feel excluded, but there are a few practical reasons why it's best not to join the group if you're not attending the event in Houston.
   Notification Overload: If you're not at the event, the constant notifications from the app can quickly become overwhelming. We've seen this happen before, so to save you the hassle, it's better to steer clear of signing up.
Organizational Challenges: As organizers, we often need to conduct headcounts and track participant engagement. Having non-attendees in the group adds unnecessary complexity to this process, making things tricky for us.
We totally get the fear of missing out (FOMO), but rest assured, you won't be left out in the long run. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to participate in future events. So, we kindly ask you to resist the temptation of signing up out of curiosity.
Please note, if an account is created by someone not attending, we will have to remove it and potentially block the associated email to maintain the integrity of the group's communication. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter! 🙏🌟
