The conference will take place on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma.
Hotel: Participants and speakers will be housed at either Holmberg House or Sooner Suites. For addresses, please see this map.
Travel by air: The closest airport to Norman is Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City (code: OKC). Getting from the airport to Norman is quite easy and quick. We recommend using a ride-sharing app (Lyft or Uber), which costs about $25 one way. There is also an airport shuttle, located outside the lower level baggage claim, that costs about $42 one way. No reservation is needed from the airport. For more information about the shuttle, here is their website.
Travel by car: For weekdays you will need a visitor permit to access the parking lots. Visitor parking permits can be picked up in the Visitor Center. Additionally, the McFarlin Church near campus allows free parking on their lot when there is no service. We recommend this option for the weekdays. For the locations of McFarlin Church and the visitor center, see this google map. Campus parking is free on the weekends and street parking near campus is free on Sundays. On Saturday, there will be a special campus-wide event. Please allow extra time to find space. See this parking map for the location of campus parking near the conference.
All talks will be held in Physical Sciences Center (PHSC) 222 and coffee breaks will be held in 224.
Here is a comprehensive
map for the locations of all the relevant places including
recommendations for dining near campus and other places of interest.
After the conference ends on Sunday, there will be an outing in the afternoon for those whose flights are not until Monday.
Although we have not made a final decision on the event, we will likely do a small hike in a local state park that highlights Oklahoma's unique geography.
