Where should I stay?
The Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront is the host venue hotel. Nearby alternatives in the captured set include Marriott Jacksonville Downtown, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and the Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverwalk, all within a short walk or rideshare of the venue.
What is the weather like in Jacksonville in early April?
April in Jacksonville is typically mild to warm, with light layers useful for air-conditioned meeting rooms and a jacket for evenings on the river. Check a local forecast for 6-8 April 2027 before you pack.
What should I budget beyond registration?
Plan for three nights of downtown hotel (approximate mid-tier band US$150-260 per night in the captured set), round-trip flights (captured samples from Dallas and Chicago were about US$390-410), airport transfers around US$30-45 each way, and daily parking of about US$20-30 if you drive.
Is downtown Jacksonville walkable for attendees?
The Northbank riverfront hotels sit within walking distance of each other, and the Southbank is reachable across the river by bridge or a short rideshare. Downtown streets are spread out, so allow extra time in heat or rain.
