Please keep in mind that Nantucket is one of the country's most popular summer vacation destinations for families and travelers of all ages, so travel and housing reservations should be made well in advance.


Each participant is responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Getting to the Island

 

By Ferry

 

While there are a variety of high-speed passenger ferry options, automobile reservations on the Steamship Authority Ferry need to be booked well in advance:

 

By Air (Nantucket Memorial Airport)

 

If flying is most convenient for you, numerous commercial airlines now provide year-round or seasonal service to the island.

Staying on the Island


This year will be our second time hosting the meeting at The Nantucket Hotel, and we have secured a limited number of rooms for meeting participants who wish to stay onsite. The Nantucket Hotel is an incredible venue with luxury accommodations, the island's best meeting space, award-winning hospitality, and tons of kid-friendly amenities--all conveniently located in the heart of downtown Nantucket. As a result of its popularity among visitors and locals alike, the hotel does not offer specially rated rooms for any events. We have blocked a very limited number of rooms for meeting participants who wish to stay onsite, but again, these are not discounted in price. Any rooms in our block not reserved by June 1st will be released to the public. (To secure a room on the meeting block, mention Nantucket Retina when making your reservation: 508-310-1734.)


Because summer on Nantucket is an extremely busy time for tourists and seasonal residents, meeting registrants are encouraged to be prepared to look into other lodging options, of which there are plenty.
