Hello PRISM 2025 Attendees!!!!
We are 10 days away from PRISM 2025 and we have reached new record high for both member registrations as well as sponsors!!!!
To help you prepare for Memphis here are a few tips to get you there:
Getting to/from the Airport to The Peabody Hotel
Uber/Lyft may be a bit of a challenge, so if you would like to use a car service to get you from the airport to the hotel (and vice versa), we recommend Reliable Transportation. You can schedule your ride in advance your pickup and drop off:
- Reliable Transportation & Tours (Darnell Johnson) - darnellj3920@gmail.com or 901-275-1182
Parking at the Peabody
For those that are driving, the Peabody has a discounted rate of $12 for PRISM guests (and $33 for valet), so please ensure that you receive the correct parking discount.
Luggage Storage
The Peabody will be offering luggage storage for PRISM guests on Sunday, April 13, 2025, and Wednesday, April 16, 2025, for those arriving early or leaving after check out time. Please see the front desk.
Weather in Memphis
The weather in Memphis this time of year can be a bit unpredictable but the forecast for the week of the conference, looks warm (and more than likely humid). While we will be inside for the conference, please know that the Welcome Reception on Sunday evening will be outdoors and for those that are able, we will be walking to our Tuesday evening event and the venue(s) could be warm inside, so please plan for humid warm weather.
