On an otherwise wonderful trip to the Dominican Republic, the founder was hit by debilitating fever and lethargy. Luckily, a friend (who also happens to be a nurse) whipped out a kit tailor-made for the trip and dosed him up with the right meds. The next morning, he felt much better, but more than that…he was inspired!

HOW TO GET THERE:

Check-in will be located upstairs on the 8th floor at 211 N. Ervay St., and the photo /red carpet area will be nearby. Parking downtown is plentiful both on street and in garages for a small fee. The DART stop "Akard Station" is right next store, just a block away from Fort Work. Additionally, Uber and Lyft is rampant throughout the city if you need to call a ride.
Fort Work is offering all Tech in Motion attendees free co-working from their space on April 7th if you want to avoid traffic and head down early!
