Venue & Travel
We'd highly recommend booking a hotel in the South Congress or East Austin area so that you get the opportunity to explore all that Austin has to offer!
Below is a list of Airbnbs that are close-by the venue. If you want to stay at a hotel downtown, it's about a 25-minute drive to/from the venue.
The closest airport is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Car Rental Companies: The airport adds additional fee to rent + return to airport, but is probably the most convenient option. There is an Enterprise and Hertz in the airport.
Uber is also a good option if you're not planning to drive around Austin very much.
