Location

The conference will be held at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, in lecture hall 105 in the Public Policy Building. The Public Policy Building can be found in quadrant E7 on the campus map.

Driving Directions and Parking

• From Interstate I-95, use exit 47A to MD-166 Catonsville and UMBC Campus, which puts you on I-195. Immediately, use the right exit to UMBC Campus.
• From the hotel area near BWI Airport, I suggest to use I-195 (and not be distracted by driving directions from Google that use two-lane country roads). You will reach the right exit for UMBC Campus after underpassing I-95.
• On the campus map you will come from the bottom along UMBC Boulevard. Stay right onto the campus loop, formally called Hilltop Circle. Make a left into Commons Drive, then right into Park Road to get to Lot 4.
• Parking: On weekends, parking is free on campus, and parking in Lot 4 immediately next to the Public Policy Building or along the surrounding streets has been approved by Parking Services.
