This Community Day Event is a single day event which will take place at Biosphere 2, the location of the SPF1 meeting. If you are participating in SPF1, you should book your accommodation through that website. This is not a large venue, unfortunately, so if you are not planning to attend SPF1, there will be no additional accommodation available at the Biosphere site. If you are local to Tucson, you should plan to drive to Biosphere 2 for the day. Directions can be found here. If not local to Tucson, there are a few hotels on Oracle Rd, between the city and the Biosphere that may have some availability.
