Travel and Lodging information
Participants in the conference will need to make their own hotel reservations. We negotiated discounted prices at the Holiday Inn Express on Olentangy River Rd, which will be the conference hotel. The conference hotel will also provide attendees with complimentary shuttle service to and from the Department of Mathematics for the duration of the conference (shuttle schedule will be determined, and posted, at a later date). If participants who will have their own car could help us with some rides, their support will be much appreciated. Public transportation is also available; information is listed below.
Hotels/motels
Note that the hotel "Holiday Inn on the Lane" (used to be conference hotel, and might be showing up on the map below), has closed its doors in 2009.
