Remember, this is your first stop for the week; being registered will make access to all other activities smooth.

Join the community service activation benefiting Foster Village

This year, we will be working with Foster Village which is an organization that supports and serves local foster families. Be sure to set aside some time to contribute; details will be available at the Registration Desk. 

The must-attend conference party 

Get ready to be a part of one of Austin’s most storied live music institutions at the Conference Party! On Tuesday night, join the entire Navigate team at the iconic Stubbs in downtown Austin as you network with peers, make new friends, and enjoy some fantastic live music. Stubbs is a short walk (about .5 mile) from the Fairmont. 

Your Navigate 2023 attire guide 

Austin has a laid-back vibe, and so does Navigate! Business casual is the way to go. Think: comfortable yet professional. Don’t forget your comfortable shoes and relaxed attire for the conference party. While Austin is warmer outdoors (approximately 82°F/27°C in October), the meeting spaces can tend to run a bit cooler. Bring a sweater or a light jacket to make sure you are comfortable. 

Smooth transitions: Your AUS airport commute 

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the primary hub for visitors flying into the city. Here are a couple of suggestions for your commute: 

Ride-sharing: Services like Uber and Lyft operate extensively in Austin. You can book a ride right from the airport to the Fairmont. 

Airport Shuttle: Many shuttles operate from AUS to major hotels and landmarks in Austin. Check with the shuttle service desks at the airport for availability and schedules. 

Car Rentals: If you prefer driving yourself, there are numerous car rental services available at the airport. 

Remember, Austin traffic can sometimes be unpredictable, so always allocate buffer time, especially when returning to the airport.
