It’s been a couple of years since I’ve wanted to attend GHC and it’s
finally happening! No need to say that I’m super excited and can't wait to be there![I really hope
I’ll be able to behave and not jump all over the Phoenix Convention Center]

| It's D-28! |
In the meantime, I’m preparing the trip and setting myself up for an amazing experience. If you are attending this year’s GHC, you are probably going through the same steps: booking your flight, hotel,… Here are some things that might be helpful :
1) Ground
transportation from/to the airport
Options,
pricing and contact info are included below. If you find someone to
arrange ground transportation with, you can split costs!
- Recommended shuttles
- Average taxi rate from PHX (30$ to Downtown)
- Taxis are available and waiting at the airport. No advance booking is required, however, be aware of the cost.
- Public Transportation
- There is a Sky Train from Terminal 4 of Sky Harbor Airport that drops you at the Light Rail station (the Sky Train is free to take, and if you don't land in Terminal 4 there is a free airport shuttle that will take you there). The Light Rail costs $2 for a one-way ride, and it has several stops in Downtown Phoenix, certainly within walking distance of our hotel/the convention center. Here are links with more info: http://skyharbor.com/phxperspective/lightrail.html & http://routes.valleymetro.org/timetables/490/transit_route?type=1
The schedule is here. I’ve spotted some key sessions already but I
wish I could be at two places at the same time…
4) Sign up to
volunteer
Volunteering at GHC is a great way to network and share your experience with the world.
Plus, it might change your life (Read Gail’s post here) .
The deadline to be a GHC Community Volunteer is September 12, don’t miss this
opportunity! You can help with tweeting, blogging and more. Fill out this
form if you are interested.
Many thanks to everyone who shared the above information with me.
