TEXPEC 2026 sessions are in Welch Hall ( 105 E 24th St ) on the UT Austin campus. Below are hotels in proximity of the Welch Hall along with commute time. We have not reserved a room block; book directly with the hotel.
December mornings in Austin are usually mild, but it can drop near freezing. We recommend packing a jacket for the walk.
