Address: ONE OCEAN RESORT & SPA 1 Ocean Blvd, Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233. Nearest airport: JAX International Airport in Jacksonville, Florida. Resort location is 21 miles (~30 min) from JAX airport; local Uber or Lyft services are suggested in place of the generally more expensive taxis.
Hotel FAQ: https://www.oneoceanresort.com/faqs.htm. Overnight guests are charged a Resort Fee to cover any hotel amenities which are not included as part of our event-specific contract. Please review all hotel information so you may take advantage of these benefits, weather permitting of course. If we helped you to book a room at our special conference rate, then the resort fee may be reduced to reflect the time you spend in the workshop.
Parking: There is no self-parking at the host hotel; you must use valet service or park on your own according to local lot rules. Because this is a beachfront location, the resort charges up to $35 parking fee to all guests, whether visiting for the day or staying overnight. We encourage you to request our contracted event rate ($15), as it is likely to be the cheapest option for parking in this area.
We encourage you to carpool and minimize your in/out transactions to keep this fee as minimal as possible. Although other hotels and businesses within easy walking distance may offer cheaper parking for your day/night needs, please be sure to follow those individual lot rules to avoid being fined or towed.
Agenda: Full Brochure.pdf -or- Agenda only.pdf . This agenda was updated on Sept 16, 2024, to reflect its final status after the event, acknowledging any changes that occurred while we were onsite.
Dress code: Business casual attire is suggested while onsite at the host hotel.
Meals and refreshments: Food and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided to all approved onsite registrants as stated in the agenda. If you would like to purchase additional food, the hotel does have its own fine-dining restaurant available onsite, and numerous local restaurants and food vendors are available within 2-3 blocks (< 0.5 mile walk) to the immediate west/southwest of the hotel.
Alcoholic beverages: A licensed bartender will be present during the dinner events on both Sept 8 and Sept 9. If you choose to consume any alcohol during these activities, we request you to be mindful of your own tolerance limit.
During each of the dinners, we will provide you with a prepaid drink voucher (ticket) to show our sincere appreciation for your participation at this year’s workshop. The ticket vouchers will be available in a limited total quantity and they are only redeemable through our event-specific bar; however, our intent is that every person who attends these dinners will be able to enjoy at least one event-paid drink (including nonalcoholic options) with their meal. Any additional drinks (bottled water, soda, wine, beer, or mixed drinks) must be purchased using your own cash/credit at the event bar.
