    Arriving at the Hotel

    Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor
    401 West Pratt Street
    Baltimore, MD 21201 

     

    Hotel Parking: $35 per day 

     

    Ground Transportation to Hotel
    There is no free shuttle to or from the airport. Our recommendation is to use the Light RailLink to travel between the airport and the hotel. The Baltimore/Washington International airport (BWI) is about 15 minutes from the Hilton. You can purchase a Light RailLink ticket at the airport and take it straight to the hotel. One of the stops (Camden Yards) is directly next to the Hilton, a 7-minute walk from the hotel. The first LightRail on January 1st arrives at BWI around 10:30 am.

    You can also take a rideshare like Uber or a private shuttle to the airport.

     

    Track Info

    As part of the Vision conference, students are placed into one of five tracks. Below is a basic explanation of the different tracks. The ERT (Event Registration Tool) automatically assigns each student to a specific track based on their answers to registration questions. Students do not choose their own track. We are providing this list to help new staff understand the different names of the tracks, so there is less confusion (for example Ignite vs. Ambassadors).
     

    1. Ambassadors – Christian students from a variety of cultural backgrounds who want to grow in their faith and learn to guide others. 

    2. Chinese – Mandarin-speaking students (usually from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Singapore)

    3. COA (Children of Abraham) – Muslim-background students

    4. South Asian – students from South Asia

    5. Multi-Nations – non-believing students from non-Chinese, non-South Asian and non-COA backgrounds

    6. Ignite – workers or volunteers who partner with Bridges; students are not part of this track.

    Conference Schedule

    We are excited to share with you a schedule change for this year! Instead of two half-days for touring DC, there will be one full day of touring on the 30th. This will decrease the long bus rides and increase the amount of time students have to tour the historic city! And since touring is all in one day this year, we are adding an afternoon seminar block on the 29th where all students will attend topic-based seminars with their family group. If you have questions regarding the conference schedule, please email Lizzie Edwards.


    *Please note: Do not share this schedule directly with students, as there is sensitive content. A more generalized conference schedule is listed on the main Vision page for students.

    Bridges Opportunities Dinner

    The Bridges Opportunities Dinner at Vision23 is an event intended to help mobilize believing students and/or key volunteers toward opportunities to serve with Bridges as interns (both in the US and internationally), full time staff and/or part time staff. Our time will be most relevant for Christian Juniors, Seniors, Graduate students, or key volunteers considering future employment. Think of the multiplying disciples whom you would want to work with!

     

    Bridges Opportunities Dinner: December 29, 5:30-7:00 pm EST

    Some believing students may hear about this through the Vision registration.
