Get a Great Hotel Deal,
Erase Your Carbon Footprint For Free

We've partnered with B Corp TripZero and We Are Neutral to provide hotel deals and mitigate the carbon footprint created by travel to the BLD Southeast.

The average attendee will create almost 400 pounds of CO2 in transit. We Are Neutral offset it with Certified Carbon Offsets.

Here's How It Works

We Are Neutral will offset your travel footprint through the purchase of Certified Carbon Offsets (at no cost to you).

These purchases finance amazing renewable energy, methane reduction and forestry projects that remove CO2 from the atmosphere. In turn, they render your trip carbon-neutral and benefit local communities. Check out We Are Neutral.

Where should I stay?

Tuesday, September 9th

All Tuesday festivities will be held at The Fold Hotels, Indian Shores, so we recommend booking a room there for the night of September 9. With only 40 rooms available, The Fold offers an intimate, purposeful stay as the only Certified B Corp hotel in the region.

Wednesday, September 10th to Friday, September 12th

Stay where the action is. We recommend booking in downtown St. Petersburg from Wednesday through Friday, where all official programming takes place within walking distance. The downtown area offers a vibrant, walkable vibe along the Intracoastal Waterway with art, local eats, and a lively atmosphere to balance out your beachfront unwind. We have room blocks at both Moxy St. Petersburg and Tru by Hilton Downtown St. Petersburg.
