We're hoping everyone has access to Uber / Lyft / etc. to get to the venue by 3:50pm. The ride from the hotel to the venue should be <5 minutes. If you anticipate any issues please let us know. We have a trolley scheduled for dropoffs at the Kimpton Tryon after the reception from 9pm - 1am [we will exit at 11pm]!
There are direct flights from CMH and DTW airports to CLT. The drive from the Toledo area is ~9 hours, has some great mountain views, and allows for some forced bonding time with your passenger(s)!
We recommend taking The Light Rail to neighboring areas of Uptown Charlotte to explore in your free time - specifically to South End and / or NoDa.
