Accommodations

Due to high occupancy in the Gainesville area over the symposium dates, a small block of rooms is being held at numerous hotel establishments offering a variety of room rates and amenities. Most are within 1-1.5 walking mile distance from the meeting venue on campus, which is the J. Wayne Reitz Union. Please Note: An informal networking social will be held Monday evening (5:30pm-7:30pm) at the Holiday Inn University Center.

Federal Government Participants: If you need a room at the federal per diem rate, please contact Hunter Richards to inquire about a room reservation.
