Frequently asked questions

Where is the best place to park?

Please allow yourself enough time to park and get to The Urban Hive. The closest garage is the DOCO East Garage (located at 7th and J, with the entrance on J Street). It is across the street from the Urban Hive. It can be difficult to find parking as well as to exit, so please plan accordingly.

How do I get into the Urban Hive?

The Urban Hive is a co-working space that has partnered with Capital Creative Alliance for Creativity Speaks. For this reason, to enter the building you must be escorted in. We will have a volunteer on the street (7th Street) escorting people to the elevator and ultimately to the event location.

Organized by
