Registration Tips

The registration site we are using follows the order flow below:

Enter a discount code or discount link if you have one. This may alter the available ticket types as some codes are tied to private ticket pools (sponsors, speakers, etc).
Choose a ticket type and quantity
Choose upgrades (optional preconference workshops or ICFP days, see below). Assign upgrades to each numbered ticket. Each ticket will get linked to an individual person so you may need to be careful in choosing which ticket is assigned which upgrades. It is not uncommon for this to end up mismatched. In that case, just contact us at register@thestrangeloop.com and we'll fix it up.
Pay for all tickets and upgrades
Assign each ticket to an individual and answer registration questions. The system treats this as optional and it can be done later, but we strongly recommend doing it at purchase time. This ensures tickets are assigned to known email addresses for updates, gives access to other event resources (like Slack), and helps us print badges.

Other options

Generally any hotel search site can be used to find nearby hotels in downtown St. Louis at comparable rates. If you are flying in, it's easiest to find a hotel close to the St. Louis Metrolink light rail, which runs from the airport to downtown St. Louis and has stops near the conference venues.

Other hotels in close walking distance include include: Drury Inn, Pear Tree Inn, Courtyard by Marriott Downtown West, and the St. Louis City Center Hotel.

Venue

The conference will be held at the historic Stifel Theatre. The Stifel is a long-time performing arts venue in the heart of downtown St. Louis that was beautifully restored and re-opened in 2011. It hosts a 3500 seat main hall and four large side ballrooms and we'll use them all! We are very excited to return to the Stifel in 2019.

This year we will also be utilizing the Union Station Ballrooms as breakout rooms for the main conference Sept 27-28th. Shuttles will run between Union Station and the Stifel Theatre throughout the conference days.
