Frequently Asked Questions

When is the offsite taking place?

Monday, December 6 – Wednesday, December 8, 2021

Where will the offsite take place?
How do I get to the offsite (travel logistics)?

We have arranged for group flights from Albany, Denver, Newark, New York (JFK), Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, DC (DCA).  If you are traveling from outside anywhere without a group flight, you will need to book your flight to Phoenix.

We’ll also provide shuttle transportation from the Phoenix airport to the hotel on Monday, and then back again to the airport on Wednesday.  Visit our Transportation page for the details.

Do I need to share a room?

We’re growing REALLY fast! This means that In order to allow everyone to attend the meeting, we need to double up folks in hotel rooms. If you would like to make a roommate request, you’ll have an opportunity to do so when we send out the meeting survey.

How will my roommate be selected?

You’ll have an opportunity to request a roommate when we send out the meeting survey in October. Please check with your proposed roommate first. We will only honor reciprocal requests, and while we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to honor every request, we’ll do our best.

If I request my own room, what will the charge be?

If you would like to request a single, you’ll have an opportunity to do that as well on the survey. Keep in mind that we can only offer up singles after we ensure we can accommodate all attendees within our room block. If we have extra rooms available, we are happy to offer you a single for an additional fee.  If there are special circumstances that preclude you from sharing a room, please reach out to Marianne Hoeft (mhoeft@noodle.com) to discuss. If you simply prefer to be alone, a single will cost an additional $130.50/night. You will need to send a check for $261, payable to Noodle Partners, prior to December 1 to:
