Local Information for Sage Days 35.5
Most of the information below assumes a certain level of funding. Please contact for more information if you need funding for air or lodging.
Air travel
Air travel really is not about local info, but most people will want to know about this. See the Sage Days 27 FAQ for the rules on airfare (e.g., US carriers only).
Lodging
Out-of-town participants will be lodged at the Wylie Center in Beverly, Mass. This oceanside conference center is just a few miles from Gordon College and has a nice wireless-enabled coffee shop which we've been assured is very much open for a group of people to code in after hours.
For this Sage Days, individual participants will make their own reservations.
First, let the organizers know about your intent to stay at the Wylie Center, so we can keep a headcount and arrange roommates.
- We will assume that, insofar possible, we will be reimbursing rooms at the double occupancy rate; if you wish to have your own room, you should plan
- Then contact the Wylie Center. Be sure to mention that the reservation is connected with Gordon College; this should get you a rate of $99 a night.
- The toll-free reservation phone is 1-866-333-0859; you may also book online at the website above.
- You'll need receipts for reimbursement.
Food (i.e., places we might want to eat for dinner)
Why not add someplace promoted by the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce that strikes your fancy?
