Thank you for being part of WOTACON 2018! We are planning a first rate conference for our attendees–and for you. Below is the information you will need to know for a successful time at the conference.

Location: This year’s WOTACON is at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center, located at 1500 Commerce St., Tacoma, WA 98402

Lodging: WOTA does not have an affiliated hotel this year. Feel free to stay at any hotel that is convenient for you and your team. We have assembled a list of hotels for you to use.
