Lodging

A special thanks to all the sponsors, speakers and attendees who are traveling to participate in our second WordCamp!

Last year we discovered that very few of you used the block of rooms we were able to arrange near the venue. This was for many reasons, but they all boiled down to you’re a tech savvy group and know how to get the best bargains on your own that far surpassed what we were able to get. Many of you bypassed the hotels and went with small bed & breakfast venues for a unique Asheville experience.

So we’re trusting that you will once again make your own hotel choices. We recommend you check out exploreasheville.com or unca.edu/accomodations for suggestions. Hotels located on the perimeter of town offer considerably lower rates than staying in downtown Asheville.

Please do give us your feedback on where you stayed so we can consider any changes for next year.
