coordinating travel arrangements
Many of you will be driving or flying into Decatur. That's why we've created a private DHF Conference Travel Arrangements Facebook group where you can create travel arrangements with other DHF attendees. For example, those who are flying into the same city may be able to arrange for a car rental together. Note that DHF is not coordinating these arrangements. We're just making it possible for attendees to coordinate with each other. Please use your best judgment and only travel with someone you know or feel safe connecting with. If in doubt, contact Rick Grace, and he can let you know if the person you are making arrangements with is legit or not. We want to make this a great experience for everyone. Happy travels, and we can't wait to see you in May! ✈️🚗
thank you to our pREMIUM sponsors!
