I'm not from the area. Where should I stay?

Check out the venue and accommodations page here.

Act fast - our hotel rate is available until October 7th!

Will materials be printed in advance?

No! In an effort to save trees, we will have materials available online, post-conference.

Should I bother staying for the reception after the Main Event (10/24)?

100%! Not only will delicious appetizers and libations be available, but we will also have live music and our Exhibitor Card Contest prize drawing. Second guessing the prize line-up? Don't you dare. Some of the items in the mix include an Apple Air Tag, an air fryer, a Keurig, and so much more!

Yes! Please reach out for any schedule changes.

Finance is hounding me for a receipt.

How does the exhibitor card contest work?

It's so easy! Attendees will be provided with a card that lists all KeyCon exhibitors. Attendees who get their card marked by 10 or more exhibitors will be able to enter their card for the reception drawing. Note - attendees must be present to win!

Is their a virtual conference option?

Unfortunately, there is not. KeyCon 2023 is entirely in-person.
