Getting
to Marconi Conference Center
Maps
and Driving Directions
Parking:
Parking is available on site at no charge. There are two parking
lots (please see Conference
Center map). Most of our retreat activities will take place
at Buck Hall, which has a small lot. Poster presenters may park
here to unload posters, but once you have done so, please move
your car to the other lot in order to allow enough space for others
to get their posters set up.
Car Pools:
If you will need a ride to Marconi and would like to be placed
on a carpool list, please notify Debbie.
If you plan to drive and could accomodate riders, please let Debbie
know how many people you could take, when you will leave and when
you plan to return.
Cell Phones:
The cell phone reception at the Marconi Conference Center is terrible
and just about non-existent so make sure to bring phone
cards if you think that you will need to make telephone calls.
