flights
For everyone flying - we recommend flying to Grand Rapids’ airport - Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR). The airport is located 20 mins from both hotels.
Alternative options would be to fly to Chicago (3 hour drive) or Detroit (2 hour drive) and rent a car or take the Amtrak to Grand Rapids.
hotels
We have reserved hotel blocks at two very convenient hotels in downtown Grand Rapids. They are both a 10 minute walk (0.5 miles) from the venue.
