Flight
Travel Note
There are plenty of good Airbnb options. We'd recommend looking by Bryn Mawr, Lake of the Isles, Cedar Lake, Bde Maka Ska, or Lake Harriet. All in Minneapolis but within a 10-20 minute drive/uber from the event.
Hotel
If you're looking to stay in the city, Element -- and other hotels in the North Loop -- could be a good option. TownePlace Suites or the Hewing Hotel are other options in the area. There are lots of breweries and restaurants in the North Loop, and you are also walking distance to the river and Stone Arch Bridge. There's a nice farmers market by the Stone Arch Bridge as well! ~15 minutes from the event.
Hotel
West End is a convenient location with lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. This is just one of several hotels in that area. ~10 minute drive/uber to the event.
Hotel
This is just one of many hotels right by the airport (~20 minute drive/uber from the event), if you're looking for convenience. The Mall of America is near the airport as well if that's your cup of tea ;)
