You asked, we listened! We understand the cost of housing for the full CXC Festival is often prohibitive and would like to offer a Hostel option in Columbus for exhibitors who want to attend Thursday & Friday programming in addition to the weekend expo.
The Wayfaring Buckeye hostel is completely reserved for CXC Exhibitors & guests ONLY. Details about the hostel can be found here:
https://www.wayfaringbuckeye.com/
Do not book directly through the links – it will show as all occupied. You should email Robert Boberg at robbie@wayfaringbuckeye.com and indicate you are a CXC exhibitor.
We are requesting that these rooms be used to enable exhibitors to participate in all four days of the festival, so we will be starting with a 4 day minimum. We have the block Wednesday – Monday if you wish to come earlier or stay Sunday night. If you require financial assistance for additional days to attend Thursday and Friday programming, please let us know. Some financial assistance is available. Indicate on your reservation request that you are requesting CXC assistance. All spots are first-come, first served.
The hostel has two 5-bed co-ed dorms (beds on two levels); two 3-bed co-ed dorms, and a few singles. There is parking both at the hostel and on the street, a hot tub, two full kitchens, and several common areas. It is located near CXC activities at 2407 Indianola Avenue, Columbus, OH – 1 mile from the Billy Ireland & Wexner Center (Th/Fri teach n talks & evening programming) and 5 miles from the Columbus Library Main Branch (weekend expo).
TO RESERVE: Email Robert Boberg, robbie@wayfaringbuckeye.com. If you have a group of 3 or 5 that want to be together, let him know. Pricing will remain at the discounted lowest rate of $32 per person per night.
For financial assistance, please email cxcfestival@gmail.com , title your email Housing Assistance in the subject line.
THANK YOU for participating in CXC, we look forward to seeing you there!
