No. Based on attendee feedback, we aren't including hotels with your registration, but you will get exclusive access to a special Diesel Connect rate at the event hotel. Hotel rooms start at $189 a night at event hotel.

Can I change an attendee’s information later?

Yes! Once you place an order, you’ll receive a confirmation email. In this email you’ll have a link to a page that lets you manage your order; you can also change the attendee information on that page.

Is there a dress code for the event?

Nope! Wear whatever you like—if you’d like to be casual, go casual. If you’d like to go black tie, we won’t stop you. While the building will be comfortably air conditioned, keep in mind that the weather will likely be on the warmer side.

Is transportation provided (within the event and to/from the airport)?

Transportation to and from the airport is not included.

If you choose to stay at a different hotel, or need transportation outside of any event activities, it will not be included.

Where can I park if I'm driving?

There are numerous parking spaces and a parking garage located at the resort for you to park at.

A full registration includes access to all Diesel Connect sessions, breakfast and lunch both days, and event activities in the evenings. You'll also receive exclusive access to a special Diesel Connect rate at the event hotel.

Do you still offer a spouse ticket?

No — we decided to remove the option of a spouse ticket due to lack of demand and to ensure we could offer the best experience possible to all attendees.
