NarraScope 2025 Travel and Lodging

This year’s conference will be held in and around Philadelphia’s Drexel University. Philadelphia is a great gaming city, with a robust digital and tabletop development scene supported by the many game stores and gaming clubs around the city. These and other amenities are easily accessible via the extensive SEPTA transit system or on foot, as Philadelphia is rated one of America’s most walkable cities. Join us in Philadelphia this summer for another great edition of NarraScope!

Note: US government policy is obviously a concern for our international attendees travelling to the US. Remember that NarraScope is a hybrid event with full support for remote attendance. TravelWhileTrans.com is a open-access document which may be helpful for trans and non-binary travellers.
