Sunday: Travel Day, Optional Group Dinner at Burial Beer

▫ Comfortable outfit for your flight or drive.

▫ If you're arriving in time for the optional group dinner at Burial Beer (6–9 pm), no need to change — come as you are. It's a casual brewery on South Slope, a 15-minute walk from The Restoration.

Monday: Travel, Coworking, Welcome Event

▫ If you signed up for the optional sunrise jeep tour, dress in warm layers — early mornings will be in the upper 40s to low 50s and temps will be cooler at elevation.

▫ For coworking and lunch in The Observatory, casual is great.

▫ For the Welcome Event, please wear casual, comfortable, and stretchy attire. ⁌ YOUR FEET WILL GET WET ⁍  Wear shoes you don't mind getting wet: water-friendly shoes (old sneakers, water shoes, or sport sandals with straps) are ideal. This is a rain-or-shine event. You will be able to bring a change of clothes.

Tuesday: TTT Meeting, Free Time, Celebration Dinner at The Draftsman

▫ Casual attire for the TTT meeting and lunch.

▫ Free time in the afternoon — wear whatever suits your plans. Downtown Asheville is very walkable, so comfortable shoes are a plus.

▫ The Celebration Dinner at The Draftsman is our big night! Plan to dress up — smart casual to cocktail attire. Think button-downs, blazers, nice dresses, or anything you'd feel great celebrating in. Everyone will have time to head back to their rooms to freshen up and change before dinner.

Wednesday: TTT Meeting, Closing Event, Departures

▫ Plan to wear what you'll travel home in. Wear something comfortable and weather-appropriate for the TTT meeting, an afternoon outdoors, and your trip home.

▫ You won't have access to your room to change, though you will have access to your luggage.

▫ Closed-toe sturdy footwear is required.

▫ Dress for the weather and bring sunscreen and sunglasses.

▫ Wallet, Real ID (or Passport) 

▫ Toiletries, contacts or glasses, and medications

▫ Cell phone and charger

▫ Laptop and charger 

Attire: 

▫ Comfortable closed-toe shoes for walking and exploring

▫ Shoes you can get wet for Monday's welcome event (see: Planning What to Wear)  

▫ A smart casual or cocktail outfit for the Celebration Dinner on Tuesday

▫ Casual outfits for meetings, coworking, and exploring downtown

▫ Layers for all weather — mornings and evenings will be cool (lows in the upper 40s), with warm afternoons (highs in the low-to-mid 70s)

▫ A light rain jacket or packable umbrella (May in Asheville can be showery)

▫ Sunglasses and a hat for sun protection

▫ Pajamas for a good night's sleep

Nice-to-haves:

▫ Reusable water bottle

▫ Optional: Camera 

▫ Travel entertainment — don't forget to pack and charge your Kindle, a deck of cards, or a good book to read.

▫ Travel comforts — earplugs, travel pillow, airport-safe snacks.

What's TTT?

TTT = Third Third Thursday, our way of saying "quarterly all-hands meeting".

Why Viget26?

For a while now, we've named our Spring TTTs after the year we were celebrating. It's always easy to remember since we were founded in December of 1999 and celebrate our collective Vigeversary the following spring. So, since it's 2026, our spring TTT is named Viget26.
