Travel Tips We hope you will join us in Tempe, Arizona, for the Oley 2024 Connected Consumer Conference, June 29 to July 2, 2024. Hotel and registration details will be posted at oley.org soon. In the meantime, we’ve put together some ideas to get you thinking about how you might plan—and afford—your trip.
The Conference
• Conference registration is free for home nutrition support consumers, caregivers, and family members. • A discounted room rate will be available when you register through the link Oley will provide. We are excited to share the negotiated rate is $125/night, so you can start budgeting now. • Oley will be expanding our conference travel grant program with more details available soon with registration.
Traveling Economically
• Check for flights into Sky Harbor (PHX) and Mesa Gateway (AZA) Airports (skyharbor.com and gatewayairport.com). • Check websites such as Google Flights, Hopper, Kayak, Priceline and Skyscanner to compare prices. Many of these sites will allow you to set up notifications to alert

you to price reductions. Many also allow you to try flexible travel dates to see if flights may be cheaper on another date. • Check individual airlines’ websites. Some airlines don’t show up in search engines such as Google Flights. • Watch out for added fees, such as for checked luggage, carry-on items and seat selection. Medical supplies should be free, but the bag/box must contain only medical supplies (i.e., don’t include a change of clothes with your pump bags).
Apps and Perks
• T-Mobile has an app called T-Mobile Tuesdays that lets users get discount codes, including codes for rental cars and gas. • The Shell Fuel Rewards app allows users to get discounts on gas and can be linked to other loyalty programs for additional savings. • Check your credit card rewards programs before traveling to see if bonus points or discounts are available for hotel stays or attractions, or gas, hotel, restaurant, or other purchases.
