Lodging and Travel Support

The conference intends to cover the cost of lodging for Saturday night, October 10, for the invited speakers and selected graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty. Lodging support will not be in the form of reimbursement but rather in the form of direct payment to the hotels we arrange.  For those traveling from afar (more than 3 hours, please let us know if you will need a room for Friday night (October 9).

The organizers will make the hotel reservation and room assignments and provide the information to the hotel.

Requests for lodging support should be made on the registration form. Participants need to complete the registration form by September 11 to be considered for support. The organizers will notify the participants by September 25 of their hotel and room assignment.  Cancellations need to be made by October 7. 

For those not requesting support and needing hotel rooms, we recommend these hotels.  We suggest googling hotels in Lawrence.  We recommend that you make a hotel reservation as soon as possible.
