Alojamiento
Hemos considerado dos opciones para alojar a los embajadores: la primera es un hotel 4 estrellas ubicado en el centro de la ciudad (hotel King David), muchas veces elegido para conferencias y eventos de esta índole; la segunda corresponde a un Hostel ubicado también en zona céntrica reservando todas las plazas para esta ocasión . Al darnos ésta última una diferencia en costos significativa, nuestra idea es convocar a la mayor cantidad de miembros de Fedora a nuestro FUDCon.
| Star Rating | Hotel Name | Reference Price | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| * 4 estrellas | King David flat Hotel | 127 dólares habitación triple | internet, baño privado (desayuno incluído) |
| * 2 estrellas | Babilonia Hostel | 15 dólares por persona | internet, baño compartido (desayuno no incluído, Disponemos de libre acceso al área de cocina)
Costo del desayuno 5 U$S por persona, se puede organizar para que se nos traiga. |
Transporte a FUDCon
Desde cualquiera de las 2 opciones de alojamiento mencionadas, se accedería a la conferencia utilizando un transporte privado, este rondaría los 300 U$S, todo el evento para todas las personas.
Agenda
A definir en el evento.
FudPub
Con la ayuda de la Agencia Córdoba Turismo ,la cual absorberá los costos de traslado con fecha de anticipación superior a 3 meses, hemos elegido un circuito para el día Sábado que incluye:

Jesuítica (Patrimonio UNESCO).
- La Cumbrecita: a 125 kms de la ciudad de Córdoba, es el 1° pueblo peatonal de Argentina y está
diseñado en la ladera de las Sierras Grandes dentro de una marco de tranquilidad y gastronomía típica increíble.
