Conference Logistics
Food
Lunch will be provided on Friday and Saturday, and coffee and snacks will be available throughout both days. Dinners will not be provided on either day.
Childcare
For Covid-19 safety, we are not offering childcare as widely as we have at previous conferences. If possible, we are asking attendees to leave children at home. We will partner with a local childcare provider to offer a free option for those who can’t arrange childcare outside of the conference. Please email conference@usworker.coop if you plan on bringing a child.
Official Conference Lodging
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Penn’s Landing, which is a few blocks from the Day 1 conference location and the conference childcare location (Arch Street Meeting House) and a short train or bus ride from the Day 2 conference location (Temple University Center City).
The deadline to take advantage of our highly discounted block rate ($149/night) is August 26. However space is limited, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to guarantee a room at the discounted rate.
