Attendants who stay at the block housing will enjoy complimentary shuttle service to and from the conference center on both days. All block housing reservations must be made by Saturday, May 18.
For registrants on a tighter budget (i.e., graduate students), we also recommend using Air BnB to reserve housing. Referring to this map, we would recommend staying in Victorian Village (red), Grandview (orange), or downtown (Blue) given The Boat House’s location (orange star). Unfortunately, the conference venue is not on a bus route. However, ride-share companies (e.g., Lyft, Uber) are easily available.
