MEALS & LODGING

On Saturday, July 12, you are invited to the opening banquet dinner. The banquet is a wonderful opportunity to mix with our faculty, staff, and other workshop participants. Banquet tickets may be purchased for $20 each via our registration form or by contacting the workshop director. Workshop participants may bring a guest to the opening banquet. The keynote address immediately follows the banquet.

The workshop will provide coffee, tea, and light breakfast snacks each morning and will serve a box lunch on Sunday, July 13. Mid-week, we’ll all take a break together for an informal dinner of pizza and salad on Wednesday, July 16. There is no additional charge to workshop participants for these meals.

For other meals during the workshop, participants can choose from among Yellow Springs’ restaurants, cafés and gourmet takeout shops, all within walking distance of the workshop venues. Each morning we will announce where faculty members will be eating lunch, so you can sign up to meet and chat informally with instructors.

Lodging
There are a number of lodging options available to workshop participants. Note that, when making your reservations, you’ll want to stay from July 12 through July 18, with checkout on July 19 so that you’ll be able to attend the evening events on the last day of the workshop.
