Travel and Housing

ARRIVAL

If you are participating in the conference, please try to arrive on the night of October 5th. This will prevent any problems with significant travel delays or cancellations. Keep in mind this is Michigan in Fall!

TRAVEL

If you are flying in for our conference, the nearest airport is the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW).

The best and cheapest method to get from DTW (in Romulus, MI) to Ann Arbor and back is the bus service provided by the Michigan Flyer company. Rideshares (Uber, Lyft) are also an option, though depending on the time of day they can be quite costly.
