2019 MBA Global Finals
Chapel Hill, NC
April 12-13, 2019
Hosted by:
The entire event is in the McColl building of UNC Kenan-Flagler. Lots of signs will point you were to go. 300 Kenan Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
We recommend you rent a car or stay at a hotel with a local shuttle (no shuttle to airport, though). We have plenty of free parking in our business school deck and lots of signs pointing you to the event.
Many teams report that a house on AirBnB is the best way to go. For hotels, here are lots of good options nearby at every price point. Marriott Courtyard is offering a nice deal for $139/night under “VCIC” (deadline March 18). They will upgrade one room per team to a “master suite” so that you’ll have room to meet as a team in the suite. We also have Aloft at $120/night (deadline March 18). Lastly, the Residence Inn is offering suites for $114. All are a short drive to Kenan-Flagler and have shuttles in-town (not to RDU).
