Practical Information

COVID-19 Requirements: All visitors and guests must comply with Brown's current COVID-19 guidelines, which can be found on the University’s COVID-19 Community Response page.

Hotel Accommodations: We have reserved a block of rooms at Hampton Inn and Suites at a rate of about $150/night. To get that rate, you must request a reservation during the registration process. Our conference administrator, Lori Nascimento, will book you the room and reach out to you with the appropriate details. If you choose to make other plans, please note the potential cap on reimbursements outlined below.

We expect to have a few shuttles to and from the conference each morning and afternoon. It's not a long walk, but weather can be surprising in Providence in March!

Transportation: Other than driving, there are several ways to come to campus.

• RIPTA (RI Bus lines) - located at Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence

• Peter Pan - 2 locations in Providence

• Amtrak and Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) - located at the Providence Train Station

• T.F. Green Airport - located in Warwick, RI, just a 15 minute drive from campus.

• Logan Airport - located in Boston, MA. Approximately 1.5 hours from campus.

Parking:

• Parking Lots - Visitors may find parking in Lot 68 Upper, also called the Power Street Parking Garage, located at 111 Power Street (2 blocks away from the conference location). The lot entrance is located at the intersection of Power and Thayer Streets (View Map). This lot contains two pay stations, which are located at the front and rear of the garage. Parking in this lot is $3/hour or $15/day. *Please make sure to leave your parking pass on your dashboard.

• Street Parking - Visitors may find metered parking on the streets in and around campus. These meters take both cash and cards. Metered spaces allow for a maximum of 2 hours. *Please pay close attention to on-street signs marked for Brown Permit Parking. These spaces require a Brown employee daytime parking permit between 8am-12pm.

• ADA Visitor Parking - Brown maintains visitor spaces that meet ADA standards for accessibility in Lot 65, which is located on the south side of Benevolent Street between Thayer and Brook Streets. Any valid state ADA placard may be used in any ADA space in the lot to park for FREE.

Reimbursement: We expect to be able to cover about $500-$600 in hotel and travel costs for all participants requesting reimbursement. If more funds become available, we will distribute them evenly among those requesting reimbursements.

If you state in the registration form that you will be requesting reimbursement, you will be receiving an email from Suppliermanagement@brown.edu with instructions to complete a form that will enter you into our payment system.  After your travel is complete, please send all original, itemized receipts to the conference administrator, Lori Nascimento.

When making your travel arrangements please be aware that Brown will only reimburse payments for coach seating. Reimbursement requests must be submitted within 60 days from the date of your trip. (Brown considers expense requests that are over 60 days to be income, which would be reported on your W-2 form.)

Due to IRS/Homeland Security requirements, Brown requires us to verify that foreign nationals have the appropriate visa to allow for travel reimbursement. Please click here for more information on what documentation you will need to provide in order to process your reimbursement.
