Since Podim is such an exceptional experience, you’ll need a place to rest and sleep to kick off a new day of networking and learning. Plus, the Podim party is going to wear you out. 😉 We’ve compiled a list of hotels that you can choose from – just be quick about it and don’t wait until the last minute.
