Accommodations
The conference has one small luxury hotel room block. Many of the hotels that are affordable and close will not do a room block; however, there is plenty of space available, including 5 hotels across the street from the University of Oregon. Therefore, we encourage you to book the hotel room that makes the most sense for you.

This “theatrical landmark has transformed theater and the way we think about history” (The New York Times)
HAMILTON is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. It has won Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.
