Lodging Recommendations
As mentioned before, please be mindful of where you are reserving lodging. It is recommended to find a hotel or Airbnb close to the University of Alaska Anchorage campus to help ease travel to and from the conference. While small towns like Eagle River, Palmer, and Wasilla are beautiful, they have a long commute to and from the conference for most visitors. To view these locations (and many more like them), we recommend a car rental and a relaxing drive!
For those who do not wish to rent a vehicle while here for the conference, Lyft and Uber are very popular in Anchorage. Many drivers can also provide some great "local hotspot" information if you ask!
