We recommend you park in the parking structure on Ann St., which is about 1 block north of the conference site. You may also park in the other structures labelled with blue pins for free. They do not require a permit on the weekend. You may get directions from your origin by clicking on the blue pin and choosing "Directions to here".

The parking structures labelled on this map contain Gold and Business reserved parking as well as Blue parking. Do not park in those spots, as you will get a nasty ticket. All spots not specifically labelled are Blue spots and are generally OK to park in, but read and adhere to all posted signs in your parking lot, structure, and space.

If you require a closer parking spot, there is pay visitor parking for $1/hr adjacent to Palmer Commons. It's marked by a red pin on the map. Take the east or south elevator to the plaza level ("P") and walk to the Palmer Commons.
