The Southeast Regional Unity Conference

APRIL 9 - 11, 2010

Location

The 2010 Unity Conference will take place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Visit http://www.unc.edu/visitors/ for excellent information about places to stay and things to do while you visit with us.

Hotel/Housing Information

Hotel

We will have a hotel reserved with a group rate for the duration of the conference. Last year the price of room was $86 per night plus taxes, and included complimentary wireless internet access, continental breakfast, and shuttle service to UNC and the Chapel Hill area between the hours of 7:30am and 8pm.  Rooms were available with a king bed or two double beds.

Community Housing

The Unity Steering Committee is again organizing a community housing program to provide a limited number of no-cost housing options for conference attendees. Community Housing Request forms will be available in December.  Please note that we cannot guarantee community housing placement, nor can we guarantee that everyone in the same group will be housed together. Your chances are better the earlier you submit!

Because there is limited amount of community housing available, we recommend that you consider staying with friends in the Chapel Hill/Durham area or pool money for a hotel room if possible.  Priority for community housing will be given to those who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference.

If you live in the Chapel Hill area and would be willing to house someone, please let us know! Housing out-of-town participants is one of the easiest and best ways that you can help out the Unity Conference!
