Logistics
A resort on the coast of Montenegro.
March 25 - May 25 2023
In terms of next steps, we encourage you to book your flights as soon as possible! Your best options will be TGD or TIV.
- Podgorica Airport (TGD) is the largest airport in Montenegro, and is a 1hr 30min drive to our location.
- Tivat Airport (TIV) is the closest airport, only a short drive away.
- We will organize continuous shuttles from both airports for the first weekend 25 & 26 March and for larger conference weekends, otherwise it is easy to contact the resort for shuttle transfers or use the taxi services in Montenegro, just be sure to draw cash beforehand to pay the driver.
Each apartment is on the beach and comes equipped with free wifi, a kitchen, parking, beachfront access, air conditioning and access to all Chedi amenitities (gym, sports courts, kayaks, paddleboards etc.)
- There are 8 restaurants in the resort. We're working closely with one of the restaurants
- There is a small grocery store in town and a larger one a 5 minute drive away (you will have access to golf carts) to get any essentials you need.
- Beyond the cost for accommodation shared, there will be minimal expenses while at Zuzalu beyond food. Events will be free as will workouts, gym access and access to activities. There may be a few special excursions that you can sign up for and pay for. We'd also love for members in the community to self organize activities and these may cost something.
- We would budget 50 euros a day for meals if you will be eating out the entire time. Alternatively there is a grocery store nearby to decrease your daily food expenses.
Please look up your passport requirements. If you do need a visa, please contact us
Participation
- Yes! We hope to build a super productive space for everyone to work. We recognize a large majority of the Zuzalu village will be working and will provide high speed wifi and co-working spaces both indoors and out.
- It all depends on what you make of it! You could just come and work and talk with the other attendees as though you were living in any other city, or you could join the sub-events, participate in the ongoing hackathon, and engage in frequent physical activities. Imagine a college at 1/4 course load and an environment that encourages serendipitous connections and an interesting conversation with each person you meet. In addition, being healthy is made easy.
At Zuzalu we hope you feel ownership of what you're helping create and help build the city you'd love to live in. We encourage attendees to take responsibility for their experience and the experience of others, and foster a spirit of interdependence within the community, to the extend that you are comfortable with.Some options for how you can participate include:
- Join the hackathon
- Speak or curate a workshop
- Participate in the biomarkers experiments
- Attend or lead workout classes or activities (paddle boarding, trail running, yoga etc.)
- Become a community lead
- Support weekend conference planners
- Lead an excursion
- Host a weekly dinner
- Join a sports league
