7. Lost Pines looks awesome. How do I get there?
Lost Pines is located 20 miles east of Austin in Bastrop, TX. Book your flight to Austin-Bergstrom Airport (code: AUS). Once you’re there, getting to Lost Pines is a snap: 1) Head east on Highway 71 for 10 miles, and 2) Turn left at Hyatt Lost Pines Road (see map):
Once you get to the airport, a taxi ride will run you about $45. There’s also a SuperShuttle that will cost $29, and you can find the booking desk near Baggage Carousel 1.
8. How can I connect with other attendees before the conference?
We’ve announced meetups in New York, Austin, and Chicago, and there are more in the works. Stay tuned to our blog and blank>Twitter feed for further developments.
Also, once you’ve bought your ticket, head over to our Facebook Group Page. It’s a private group, so you’ll need to apply for inclusion. (Assuming, of course, that you’re already on Facebook.) After you’re cleared, leave a comment and introduce yourself. It’s a great opportunity to get to know one another, coordinate travel, find a roommate, etc.
9. Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket to the 2013 Summit?
Dad 2.0 Summit Purchase & Refund Policy: Sorry! There are no refunds. No exceptions. Tickets purchased for the 2012 Summit may not transfer to the 2013 Summit.
